Whose Side Is God on Now?
I agree God has distanced Himself from the West. He has been increasingly backing away from Europe since the "Enlightenment" and from America since the late nineteenth century.
But if Putin is taking up the defense of Christian values, I've been missing a lot that's going on.

This speech recalls last December's address where the former KGB chief spoke of Russia as standing against a decadent West:
"Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values. Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation."
Heard any Western leader, say, Barack Obama, talk like that lately?

I would observe that if Putin really wished us ill, he would encourage us in what he instead condemns in the above speech. But I am not at all worried that Western leaders are about to be moved by Putin's criticisms.
For me, despite our exalted opinion of ourselves the US is the most God hating society in history. 55 million dead babies since Roe v Wade justify that opinion. But is Russia substantially any more pure?
Maybe Russia deserves closer scrutiny.
