In a retrograde and unintelligible step (along with supplying missiles to the Syrian regime) the Russians seem to be intent on reintroducing blasphemy laws onto their statute book in order that secular protesters and anti-religious groups may be severely punished for "upsetting" religious people. Clearly the all powerful Gods of these same religious folk are insufficiently powerful and the people insufficiently sure of their own convictions to stand up to a bit of peaceful criticism (there are already adequate laws to deal with violent criticism), clearly these powers require assistance from the instruments of the Russian state, the "Jesus squad" perhaps?
