Pentecostalism is the only key card to access the sublime.

Laurus and anything by Dostoevsky.

The orthodox church here in Russia is almost as vindictive, crazy, and corrupt as islam, fuck these niggers.

How so?

The church is basically a meme at this point. There is a guy sitting in jail right now for playing Pokemon Go in the church, you can get prosecuted for 'offending' christians (offense could be anything, including a random post on the internet), the bishops are some of the richest people in the country.

Protestant is best you fucking frauds.

There is nothing wrong with that, based Russia.

Keep the church out of the government. It only leads to corruption

>>9335463
Isn't it a case of the government controlling the church rather than vice versa

>>9335463
If the church is out of government, then the government just owns the church.

A church is a sacred space, playing fucking Pokemon Go in church is disgusting.

This, I doubt Putin is actually a devout Christian. He's using the Church to drum up patriotism and loyalty to the state. I hardly think the Russian Patriarch would ever be able to give Putin orders that he'd actually follow, while I'm sure the reverse is true.

Good.

Probably that, but I can't believe that powerful leaders are fully atheist, they always get into spiritual/religious stuff.

Mountain of Silence and Gifts of the Desert by Markides are good for spirituality

On the Divine Images and Praying with Icons are good for understanding the importance and use of Icons in Church and at home

Confessions, doorway to forgiveness is good for understanding confessions

Light through an Eastern Window is about the oriental church, from the eyes of a bishop, was one of the major sources that helped me convert.

I have others, but they mostly focus on prayer and I can't remember some of the titles.

Anyone here has read soloviev? I heard he was Dostos best pal.

Here's a question that doesn't deserve its own thread,

Is the bible a good read? Any of them?

>>9335026
Laurus is one of the best contemporary novels since Remains of the Day or 2666

>>9336268
I cant imagine suggesting that you are into western literature without having read the bible.
