March 10, 2014 Secretary of the Council of the St. Petersburg branch Party of Progress Arkady Chaplygin said in his blog that he had applied to six district prosecutor's offices of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region with a request for recognition of the Bible as extremist literature.
A. Chaplygin noted that "with deep respect" refers to the teachings of Christ and many Christian ascetics. However, the author believes conversion, “in our time, the Orthodox Church has become something in between between the ideological department of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the "cassock department of the state protection". Merged with the state apparatus, the Church is ready to support any cannibalism emanating from the authorities: from depriving orphans of the opportunity find a family before the invasion of neighboring states .
“I don’t care who Christ is considered by my fellow citizens - a son of God or a false prophet. But when the Church invades state life, when he dictates his will to the legislator, when insane Orthodox Red Guards invade theaters and exhibitions and forbid me see what I paid money for and what I like, church worldview becomes completely indifferent to me , ”said A. Chaplygin.
He made the reservation that he was not a supporter of the ban on dissemination of information, “but since the Church fully supports the initiatives "crazy printer" about banning everything that can be banned, then let him experience the full weight of the law . ”
If law enforcement authorities do not consider it possible to prohibit The Bible, A. Chaplygin suggests “at least mark it, limiting it distribution among children .
We believe that evaluating the scriptures of world religions and ancient religious texts in general is senseless and unwise.
