03 August 2007, 12:59Prominent Russian theologian: the Netherlands is the most degrading country in Europe
Moscow, August 3, Interfax - Prof. Deacon Andrey Kurayev of Moscow Theological Academy has expressed concern for the fate of Holland because of its lax morals.
‘The Netherlands is the most degrading country in Europe. I would not compare it to Sodom because it is still a ‘nether land’. What can threaten it instead of fire is only water, and in the nearest future at that. I would not like to frighten anybody though, of course’, Father Andrey said as cited by the Ukrainian issue of the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily.
That was Deacon Kurayev’s comment on the daily’s article about Bug Chasings, parties attended by people with AIDS, which have come into fashion in Holland. There is even a gay group called ‘HIV-Positive and Proud’.
The daily cites a Hollander by name of Harald who is healthy but would like to catch AIDS.
‘I simply don’t have enough courage to make the last step’, he admitted, ‘some of my friends have already been infected and I envy them. Farewell to damned condoms! Farewell to fear! You have now nothing to loose, you are at the end of your tether, and it means you turn over a new leaf’.
Harald told about healthy people, usually gays, who are looking in the Internet after a ‘gift-giver’, a person with AIDS who is willing to transmit it to another.
‘It is a way out for lonely folks. After infection you enter a circle of the elected, a sort of ‘Masonic lodge’. You are bearing ‘a seal of death’, you are one of our own, a marked one, not alone, and you can do anything. You have friends and lovers in many countries of the world’, he added.
