Here is an Orthodox FAQ and reading list I put together, if you're interested: http://pastebin.com/bN1ujq2x

But, main topic: Freemasons, and why Catholics and Orthodox don't like them. The answer is simple: they are trying to water down all the world religions so everyone has the same, very liberal, faith (this isn't about something sinister, but because they want to end things like religious conflict and division). This causes them to infiltrate religions and cause all sorts of problems. We've had two Ecumenical Patriarchs who were Freemasons (maybe more that we don't know about): the first, Meletius IV, recognized Anglican orders, and was the guy who started the movement to revise the Julian Calendar, which was partially accomplished by his successor (don't get me wrong, the calendar had to be revised, because if it is then it will be all out of whack with the seasons eventually, but the revision should have been something the whole Church did together, even if that took another hundred years, and it shouldn't have been pushed through for Masonic reasons, which is to align with Roman Catholics and Protestants). The second Mason Patriarch we had was Athenagoras I, and he got very buddy buddy with the Pope and rescinding the anathemas and all sorts of things.

So, this one reason why we don't want Masons in our ranks, because they have an agenda and owe allegiance to their fraternity rather than the Church. Most staunch Catholics also dislike the heck out of Masons, and while both of us want reconciliation, they'd agree it shouldn't be done through watering down, but rather through affirming a shared tradition.

Why did the supposedly morally superior allies invade neutral Greece, instead of directly invading Bulgaria in the first world war?

> mfw listening to Dan Carlins' description of Verdun

Holy fucking shit, this has to be exaggeration. There's no way people could have gone through that without saying "nope, I'm out".

>He sent raiding parties to other areas and permitted his accomplices to take off as workers as many of these harmless and peace-loving people as they chose. They would chain their prisoners together so that none could slip the load of three heavy goods which he or she was forced to carry. On one of these occasions – and there were many such – of the four thousand prisoners who began the journey loaded down in this fashion not even six ever saw their home again, all the others being left by the roadside where they fell. And when a bearer flagged and became utterly debilitated and wearied by the enormous burden he was expected to carry and the shortage of food and lack of rest, they cut his head from his shoulders so they would not have to break the chains that held the line of prisoners together, and his head would fall to one side of the baggage train and his trunk to the other. You can imagine what effect this had upon his companions in misery. And, in time, as they came to realize that none of their people ever returned from pilgrimages of this kind, the impressed peoples would set out on such a trip with tears running down their cheeks, sighing and bemoaning their fate.

so, how isn't this a genocide?

Is the Monty Hall problem an idiot detector? Like, anyone who cares about it is just a try hard deep thinker right? Not even trolling. I was just thinking to myself, "I'm pretty sure if I explain the Monty Hall problem to someone and their first reaction is 'this is stupid,' then I'm probably not going to get along with them."
