Redpill me on Orthodox Christianity

>>132938059
It's bullshit. The premise is beautiful but all of the churches are corrupt and have ties to mafia. Also Eastern Europeans make as many babies as they make money for Germany.

>>132938059
How stupid are you? It's not converying if you're still worshipping the same deites idiot

The religion itself is what he should be interested, not about petty politics within the church

>>132939975
By that logic, Mormonism and Catholicism is the same shit

>>132938059
Same boat as you anon.

I believe the major complaint from other denoms is the icons- much like RC.

If you get over that hurdle, It seems to be the logical choice.

>>132940002
Politics in the church are also representative of the church. If Orthodox priests preached about good morals but secretly raped babies I would still not want to join their sect, even though their baby-raping clan is separate from the religion

>>132938059
Our priests can get married, so there's not as much sexual tension in the parish.
We also seem to not crusade as much as other religions.

Orthodoxy is the most aggressive form of christianity and maybe the only religion that can actually resists islam, unfortunately it's quite old and faded but the core is combative and spiritual, you are welcomed.

>>132938059
Start about the saints; if you have intellectual doubt read some metaphysics. And during Mass just try to meditate about what is really happening

>>132940281
Politics are the temporal dimension, religion is about contemplation of the infinite God.

Jesus Christ anon. Are you by chance from Stari Grad & are a very edgy atheist?

Orhodox Christianity is beautiful and holds better values imo. No toe kissing niggers or accepting faggotry. Some of our highest priests are very serious intellectuals and if you are interested, I will direct you to a few of their speeches regarding certain social issues and occurrences.

Bring it lad.

I asked my wife about going to an Eastern Orthodox service instead of the current non denominational lightweight nonsense church we go to now.
She says, "ugh, no, it's too ritualistic.'

Uhh it's better than the ritual of going to a low effort church where I have to sit through 20m of trash Christian pop at the beginning of every service.

Feels bad man.

i am interested. please link. thanks.

raised eastern orthodox, fell out of it.

How did your family take that?

>>132942212
You can't say turks were generous while they turkified the majority of anatolia and many parts of balkans.

>>132942578
in medieval times, you can.

>>132942578
Is the greek/russian orthodox church viewed more or less as a unity, or maybe closer to a protestant/catholic relationship?

>>132942492
I still get preached here and there, not nearly as much when I was younger. I am the first generation to be born here in the US. To be more detailed whenever asked I say I'm christian just because it is much easier. I don't really follow any religion, life just picked up.

I'm getting off topic

>>132943669
Aha. Are you from a greek or russian background?

>>132942162
Just force her to go.

Ephesians 5

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

RCC man here. I truly love my Orthobros, but this Eastern superiority/Rod Dreher complex goes way overboard.

The Orthodox are literally canonizing Rasputin, a degenerate Satan-worshipping, cult-leading, alcoholic, orgy-having, pedophile sex addict.

Almost all brands of "Christianity" are devil worship and you risk going to hell with your Jewish comrades for following them.

>>132945425
No they're not. From the 2003 article you linked:

The crusade (to make Rasputin and Ivan the terrible a saint) has gained such momentum that theologians allied to the Church leadership have felt compelled to condemn it publicly.

Last week they spoke out against the growing number of newspapers and internet sites backing the campaign and said the debate could lead to a schism. "These publications juggle the facts of Church history, distort the foundations of the Orthodox faith and ultimately create a sectarian mentality," they said.

>"Sectarian mentality."

Kek. Orthodoxy is sectarian by definition. Why else would they canonize the entire Romanov family? Royalty is synonymous with sanctity to them.

Face it anon. The Orthos have a Pope. It's just that he's also a Tsar.

>>132943307

Depends on who you ask. If you ask a Russian, they'll say unity. If you ask a Greek, not so much.

The true redpill - the Great Schism isn't just between the East and the West, but *among* the Eastern churches as a whole.

I worked at a Christian camp in Norcal for 7 years. The orthodox Christians always seemed a whole tier more likable and intelligent than Protestants. Definitely my favorite Christians, a lot of them even recognize how Orthodox Christianity fits into the Perennial Philosophy.

>>132938059
1. Jesus Christ never existed, and is based on pagan religions prior to the creation of Christianity. Created by Romans to make weak ass Jews less rebellious. Alas, Jews still don't accept Jesus and the retarded goys accept Jesus. But all is good for the whites.

2. Yahweh is a demon that killed a whole lot more people than "Satan" in the Bible. If there is a benevolent being, it is Satan.

3/ There is no supernatural bullshit. If the story were true, the angel of death that murdered every first born could be Jew Special Forces (in that day and age) going around Egypt and killing everyone they wish. They kill everyone, then call it god's will. Jews are sand niggers, always have, and always will. Remember that.

4. Moses endorse the raping of "young virgins", who are by today's standards, children.

5. Don't be a Roman and Jew slave.

You need to get into hermeneutics.

Retarded roach, the Balkans were as "turkified" as Anatolia. Only reason Anatolia turned majority muslim are the numerous genocides in the 20th century.
