Yeetle Box - Christophrenic Paranoia

Christianity got a bump from Russia recently by two groups who are delivering the faith in the most Christian of ways.

Thirty members of a cult devoted to the mesmerizing, diagnosed-schizophrenic Pyotr Kuznetsov have holed up in a cave in the Penza region since Nov. 7, awaiting the end of the world in May 2008 (though Kuznetsov has asked them publicly to come out). Members have agreed that should the end of the world occur earlier than that date, they are screwed.

And a group in the city of Nizhny Novgorod worships outgoing president Vladimir Putin as the incarnation of the Apostle Paul and King Solomon. "We didn't choose Putin," said one devotee. "... God himself has chosen him!" I ask you, why not Putin? And why not the incarnation of two persons embodied in one?

All sounds very Christian to me!
