Many people are still exploring the world looking for Pokémon. However, one Russian man’s Pokémon journey may have come to an abrupt end. Ruslan Sokolovski posted a YouTube video of him playing Pokémon GO in the Church of All Saints in Yekaterinburg. While denying what he did was offensive, the Russian player is currently being detained for two months and may face up to five years in prison for attacks on the liberty of faith.
Man Faces 5 Years Jail Time For Playing Pokémon GO In Church
What a world we live in.
WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT Is this?!? LOLOLOL wwwwooooooooooooooooowwwwwww…..
I know right. And people from other countries gives americans so much crap…but at least we are not killing people for sitting in a certain way or falling asleep during a meeting that was like 5 hours. Coughkorehacoufh
With all of the high profile defects from North Korea, Little Fatty Jr. in charge of that country has to show how strong he is because those defections are making him look like a weak ruler. So he’ll go into paranoid mode & kill anything & anyone to show how “BOSS” he is! If North Korea under the rule of Kim Jong-il was that country’s prime, Kim Jong-un’s rule is the country’s old age as it’s past it’s prime. The body is now at the point where it will slowly kill itself as it eliminates it’s vital organs one by one.
Notice a good chunk of these nutty stories are from Russia.
That’s what happens when you let a lunatic take over the country.
We should pay close attention to how Putin does things in Russia. Looking at Russia with him in charge is a nice little look into the future to see how the US will be under Trump if he’s elected as president. :/
P3. Anybody here familiar with Russian laws? No doubt what he did was offensive and disrespectful, but an attack on the liberty of faith?
In Russia the concept of extremism is very vague, you could go to jail for strange reasons. One person was arrested for repost in social medias that Crimea belongs to Ukraine. Yes, that’s ridiculous, in this country we live in…
im basically aware that because people just got addicted to that game?
I no don’t know Russian Law, I am well versed in Bird Law.
don’t know why I added that no, disregard it
The title should be renamed “100 ways to ruin your life from playing Pokémon GO”
Yes, playing Pokemon Go in a church is forbidden. It says so in the bible -_- lol
Russian Orthodox is not comparable to western/modern Christianity.
Well it’s very similar to Roman Catholicism, which is a western religion.
Actually Orthodox is even less related to Roman Catholicism than Protestant denominations are.
That’s not true. Eastern Orthodox religions ae closer to being in communion with the Catholic Church than Protestant religions are. The main difference between Eastern Orthodox religions and Eastern Rite Catholicism is a disagreement about how the Church should be structured. However, many of the beliefs concerning the sacraments are the same. For instance, both Russian Orthodox and Roman Catholicism hold that Jesus is fully present in the Eucharist, which is at the heart of Catholicism and is undoubtedly the most important sacrament. Many Protestant religions believe that the Eucharist is mearly symbolic and don’t believe that Jesus is truly present.
did you read the article?
ok now that is just plain stupid, i find it disrespectful for playing games on your phone in a church but not to the point of going to jail for it and as a Christian that is just wrong. now if he attacked the pastor/priest or whatever they want to call them then i agree with jail time but not this, even God just facepalmed.
these werent christians.
Russian Orthodox is a Christian religion.
I think he was referring to the fact they are only Christians in name, not by actual act. The Westboro Baptist Church can call themselves Christians all they want but we all know they are just filthy hypocrites. Christianity is supposed to be about forgiving people, not condemning them. Nor should any real Christian following the teachings picket the funerals of dead people because they were gay or because they defended a country that allows gay people to live peaceful lives & get married.
bingo
Thanks for the clarification.
Forgiving. Unless you’re a woman, gay or part of another belief/or no belief. Just cut the crap.
Wow. You understand nothing about Christianity. Please, only comment on these matters if you know what you’re talking about.
I forgive you for your stupidity. :)
That’s not Christianity, either. You’ve been around too many poser Christians that just use religion to make themselves feel superior to women, gay people, people from another religion, or people with no religion at all. Any “Christian” hating on women, gay people, people of another faith or people of no faith at all are full of shit & they aren’t a Christian no matter how much they praise God or Jesus. Don’t let the actions of many retards that are just leeching off of Christianity for some sense of superiority make you condemn the faith itself. At the end of the day, religion is like a gun, sword, etc. It doesn’t have any control over how humans wield it, so it can be used for good or evil.
In Soviet Russia, Pokemon hates the church!
And in unison, God & all of his angels just facepalmed so hard that 2-3 galaxies were destroyed from the momentum alone. I expected this kind of bullshit from some psychotic Christian cult but this? Wow.

I’m a Christian who <3's Jesus and I think it would be disrespectful to play on your phone in church but this is just ridiculous
man people are really addicted to that game. see this is what parents talking about. pokemon go are taking over your life.
Religion sucks
-__________-
Yes it suck…that is why am not in to religion gbut am a lover and fallower of Christ…religion is made by mans…and can be use in anything…your religion can be Pokemon, it can be anythi g you want, so i agrre with you, religion suck, am a Chritian not a fallower of a rigion.
I respect that. We are all entitled to our own beliefs, and it really is the religious institutions that have had such a negative role in human history; not one particular individual practicing the religion on his own.
Or her*
Great grammar.
Not religion. Just the so called followers that use it for their own selfish pride or gain.
Lol @ comment thread. So much comedic gold in here.
Church is Church, have some respect and stop acting like your view on the world is any better than anyone else’s.
What he did was stupid on his own doing sure, but not worthy of jail time.
Who said it was worthy of jail time?
Did you not read the article?
I did, but I’m saying why does that make the thread comedic gold?
And I thought Chicago recently banning Pokemon Go play from the lakefront because of concerned parents was fucking bullshit. I’m still surprised that the mayor is seriously making that a new law here.
Is he seriously? My friend and I were just planning a trip to hunt in Chicago- Navy Pier and Lake Shore Drive have TONS of Magikarp according to him.
Yes, it’s seriously going to happen all because some parents felt uncomfortable. Sad isn’t it?

Sounds like something Nintendo would do… if the product wasn’t actually making them money. *cough*Swapnote*cough*

I’m a born again Christian myself and even I think this is ridiculous.
Sure, I wouldn’t play Pokemon GO in Church because it would be rude to the service, I mean why would you go to church if you’re not gonna listen to the service?
But this is way too far, the best that should have happened was that people should kindly ask the man to either stop playing or go outside. Making him face jail is way beyond unreasonable.
so now we know, don’t play pokemon go during christmas, or easter etc… same nonsense.
First some retarded parents leave their kid to play Pokemon Go, Now this Bullshit ? This is slowly becoming a real Autistic situation of epic proportions just halt the production of Pokemon go and remove it from the app store and no more stories like this will happen.
Could you please not use words like retarded and autistic in such a negative manner please?
He’s a kid. He think he sounds cool.
Brandon i’m no kid I’m simply stating the obvious people like that must be mentally unstable to raise kids if they want to play a fucking mobile app and leave a young child alone! Use your head before you accuse somebody. You will prevent alot less flame wars that way.
Well there must be something wrong with them to do that to a child, so either autism or mentally unstable. People like thta dont dserve kids.
When was retarded, or retard for that matter, ever NOT a negative word to begin with, though? Even before the more PC term mentally challenged became the go-to word to use, I still found retard or retarded to be pretty demeaning.
As for using autistic in such a negative manner, that I can agree with since autism goes under mentally challenged, anyway, so using both words is pretty redundant.
Didn’t a church once say Mewtwo is a role model?
Wow
