Ahmed lived in Constantinople during the 1600s and was an official in the Ottoman Turkish government before his conversion.

Ahmed owned a Russian concubine whom he allowed to attend one of the Greek Orthodox churches in Constantinople. In time Ahmed began to notice that when his Russian concubine returned from church she was far more gracious and loving than she was before going. Intrigued by this, Ahmed obtained permission to attend the Ecumenical Patriarch's celebration of the Divine Liturgy in Constantinople. Due to his status and identity, his request was not refused, and he was given a special place when he attended.

During the Divine Liturgy, Ahmed saw that when the Ecumenical Patriarch blessed the faithful with his trikiri and dikiri his fingers 'beamed' light onto the heads of the faithful Christians, but not his own. Amazed by this miracle, Ahmed requested and received Holy Baptism.

Thereafter Ahmed lived a secret Christian life (this being justified by II Kings 5:17-19 and John 3). We do not know what happened in this period after his baptism, but it is not unlikely that Ahmed's love for the concubine who had led him indirectly to the Orthodox Faith blossomed. It is also likely that the future martyr met with a spiritual father to learn more about the Faith he had adopted and the Lord he now served.

Whatever happened during this period, one day a group of arguing officials asked Ahmed for his opinion of their dispute, to which he replied that
>"The Christian Faith is better"
(no doubt their argument concerned the superiority of Islam versus Holy Orthodoxy).

>"Are you a Christian?"
an officer smilingly asked the saint.

>"Yes, I am a Christian,"
the saint replied slowly, peacefully, and clearly, smiling at the officer who had questioned him. Ahmed endured all the tortures he was then subjected to by his erstwhile compatriots and was martyred on May 3, 1682.

They likely wouldn't have cared so much if he were always a Christian, but the penalty for apostasy in Islam is death.

Christianity is a religion which follows the teaching of Jesus Christ. They believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. In a council of the early times, Christians defined God as being a single substance with three distinct persons:

-God the Father
-God the Son (Jesus)
-God the Holy Spirit

However, some Christian fringe groups like Mormons reject this and either claim that Jesus is not God, or that there is only one person and that the Father and Jesus are one and the same. It is complicated.

Christian (in general) believe Jesus was born of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who intercedes for humanity. He preached a religion (look up Beatitudes etc for details), and then was tortured and killed, but rose again. This created a pact between humanity and God, which is continued ritually in the Eucharist (which is when Christian transform the bread and wine into blood and body of Jesus and eat it). Then Jesus founded a church, made originally of 12 Apostles.

Christianity was spread by various Apostles around the Roman Empire, Ethiopia, Ireland, even India and some other places. The Roman Empire adopted it as its official religion (though it was persecuted too at various times). From there the Roman Empire went from promoting paganism to promoting Christianity and it became the new standard religion of Europe and the Middle East. However Arabs conquered the Middle East and spread Islam. There are still some Christians on the fringes in places like Lebanon and Egypt but they have a rough time. Europe then went on to conquer the entire world, so they spread Christianity too. European Christianity is much more violent than original Christianity was. (White people suck).

My history teacher said that the germanic subhumans adopted Christianity after they were told about the stories from the bible in a much more brutal way since they were evil subhumans who like those things.

I skipped the video and heard Austria-Hungary.
Austria-Hungary is a synonyme for extremelly boring.

In the comments there is an angry bulgarian which I saw months ago. I once posted comments of bulgarians from a video about Greek vs bulgarian military. The bulgarians are very jealous people.

>that his father lacked
Why are we so fucking nerotic as a species?

Its the same as Kierkegaard's Father """standing on a hill in Jutland cursing God""" and the educating his son to be a priest. Its very odd.

Do asians have this sort of complex with the divine as well? Or do they just get on with it and leave well enough alone?
