Russian Orthodox Leader Kirill - the Devil in Disguise

 

When I saw this disgusting figure on the news the other day I couldn’t believe this was a religious leader. I mean he came across more like a clown all dressed up like a jester as if he was just about to take part in a comedy movie. But after pronouncing his support for Putin and the war in Ukraine, maybe it should have been a horror movie!

This buffoon, Patriarch Kirill, is the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church in Russia and a fervent supporter of that other devilish clown, Vladimir Putin, that goes back many years. But his vociferous support of the invasion of Ukraine has drawn strong rebukes from religious leaders inside Russia who say he has forsaken Christian teachings by Jesus supporting the Kremlin’s destructive campaign. As I’ve said on many occasions, you just couldn’t make it up!

I’m a Buddhist and have great respect for all world religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and everything else in between. But the rumblings and rants from this guy, as far as I am concerned, are anything but religious. In a speech last week he stated: "If humanity accepts that sin is not a violation of God's law, if humanity accepts that sin is a variation of human behaviour, the human civilisation will end there." What? He also said that: "We have entered into a struggle that has not a physical, but a metaphysical significance," And lastly, "If we see violations of God's law, we will never put up with those who destroy this law, blurring the line between holiness and sin, and even more so with those who promote sin as an example or as one of the models of human behaviour." 

So these are the words of a man who was a member of the KGB spy agency who now supports everything Putin is doing in Ukraine - basically war crimes. By giving support to the evil tyrant, Putin, he is misrepresenting his words mentioned above. Or am I seeing it wrong? So IT IS NOT a sin to send tanks into Ukrainian towns and cities and destroy them? It’s not a sin to target innocent men, women and children and kill them indiscriminately? It’s not a sin to blow up hospitals? It is not a sin to rape women and mothers in front of their children? And yet, this evil wretch thinks it’s okay? He seems to look at Adolf Putin with huge respect and blesses him in a church - of God? 

As those who know a thing or two about Buddhism, you will know there is no God. The Buddha is not a Jesus figure but a normal human being who became enlightened and discovered the hidden truths about life, humanity and the Universe. He wished peace and happiness to all peoples and regarded war as part of human suffering. I can only guess what the Buddha would think, if he was alive today, not so much about the war but about the devilish and destructive mentality of Adolf Putin and this pseudo-religious maniac, Kirill. 

Karma will eventually come back to haunt both of these vermin!
