[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3666100, member: 35036"] Precisely. It started out as a POW/work camp kinda deal, it even explains on the first page the groups of people who were there. Where are you getting your information from? Soviet Russia killed roughly 12-20 million Christians, and the highest number of Jews in the Russian empire/soviet union was 5.4 million. The majority of Jewish deaths were due to Nazis, as the majority of Russia’s Jewish population lived on the eastern side of the country. 40% of the Jews that fought in allied armies were in the Soviet military. The Soviet Union is certainly not blameless, but let’s keep our facts straight. The “persecution” of religious groups in our nation in no way compares or even parallels with Soviet Russia, nor the Nazis. I am in no way, shape, or form religious, but I find everyone’s outspoken opinions about religions in our society to be an issue. The United States was founded on the principles of freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Nobody should be telling anyone what they can or cannot do, outside of following basic laws. Let the Christians go to church, Muslims go to prayer, atheists go without either, the liberals hang out doing what they want, and so on. I wanna see gay dudes be able to get married, adopt kids, and be able to grow weed while competing in 3 gun matches on the weekend. It’s the good ol US of A. There’s shouldn’t be a religious group, no religious group, political party, or government entity that can tell us how to live or believe. Outside of the usual laws. I’m not talking anarchy. [/QUOTE]
