Citizens of the priests, did you eat your ear?

Other slogans of the witty activists were no less interesting: "Remove Neptune? Damn it!"

The event took place in the Admiralty Square in the city of Vladivostok. The feelings of believers in Neptune were offended by the recent statements of the Russian Orthodox Church about the inadmissibility of the sea lord at public holidays, and people decided in this way to remind the Russian religious sect-monopoly of the recently adopted law that protects all categories of believers.

The question about the use of seafood, addressed to the clergy, unequivocally hints that the patronage of the Christian God Jehovah (Yahweh) extends to the sea and the animals contained in them by no means in all religions and beliefs.

Recall that recently the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) insisted on excluding characters of pagan mythology from the programs of celebrating the Day of the Navy - first of all, the discontent of the clergy is caused by the presence of the god of the sea element Neptune in it. This was reported by RBK-TV.

It is planned that starting next year, mermaids, devils and Neptune will disappear from the festive programs dedicated to the Day of the Navy in the locations of the fleets. The program will only include a naval parade, military sports holidays and reconstructions of glorious events from the history of the Russian Navy.

Note that this is not the first attack by the Russian Orthodox Church on an ancient god - in July of this year. The hierarchs banned the presence of Neptune at the celebration of Youth Day in the village of Morozovka, Voronezh Region, explaining this decision by the fact that holidays with the participation of such characters do not coincide with the norms of believers.

The unilateral effect of the law on the protection of the feelings of believers in Russia is already evident in many areas of the life of ordinary people.

For example, toys for children that have recently appeared in Christian stores serve as a peculiar touch of Russian clericalization. Thanks to them, the child can fully try himself in the role of the superintendent of JSC "ROC", as well as play the electronic quiz "Orthodoxy", which, according to the producers, "acquaints children with the world of Orthodox Christianity, reveals its depth and beauty."
