Yes, I do vaguely remember that someone was talking about how the Russian Orthodox priests are tools of the Communist Party, and how they use the confessional to keep their people under control, whether religious or political or psychological.
And how is that any different from the way that our country uses licensed counselors to download information to be used for other purposes than just to "help" you? When the party people finish the job of merging us all into One Party, how will there be any difference from them? The Cold War just won't matter anymore. How stupid do you think I am that I can't figure that out? Not.
