Atheism in Russia is at some extreme levels you dont want to have. Real one, not western contrarian fedora tipping. Many of these atheist call themselves Christian and even visit the church, but you wont be able to find someone more godless. Insane levels of drug abuse, abortions and aids is direct result of that. This is what communism does.

It's strange, Tzar Nicholas II, his wife, and his five kids are considered saints in Russian Orthodoxy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonization_of_the_Romanovs

I honestly don't trust Russian Orthodoxy's claim to authority here so I would heavily doubt it but it's interesting to see how the Russians react to Bolshevism now.

Technically all Christians are considered saints it only seems like a status symbol because Catholics only ever reference specific people as saints.

Being Rusyn Orthodox (a group was converted the same time as Russia and nothing changes in the mountains so we haven't changed much since mass conversion) I only understand that communism spelled the end of organized religion in Russia. The family is canonized for defending Orthodoxy in Russia.
>>135382072
This might just be a difference of theology but there is a very specific set of prerequisites that a person needs to meet (most of them in/after death) in order to be remembered a saint.

A saint in any church is someone in Heaven. However Canonized Saints are the dead that the church teaching authority declares with their authority to be in heaven. This goes through a process, as you mentioned.

Spoilers don't work on /pol/, newfriend.

You're confusing the rise of Modernity in the west and its education with the effects of education generally. It's very obvious that people more educated by groups that support Metaphysical Naturalism and western Europe's concept of "religion" will be more supportive of Naturalism and view religion the same way.

Also, while this should be obvious, Russia got better educated between 1960s USSR and today. Meanwhile Atheism is falling. This works against your claim.

it's probably still a good development, maybe a recognition that atheism is clearly false

but unfortunately it's only in Russia. We know that the Russians are head and shoulders above us at this point
>>
>>
>>135385430
It seems to be a mix. Church attendance is rising, but not by nearly the same amount as actual claims of being Christian. They are not even 30 years out of a culture that was vehemently anti-theism so its still somewhat superficial.

Listen, the American Jeebus may be a cool guy, but the Eastern Orthodox God teaches you to obey, endure any kind of shit without questioning why does the shit happen and pray for divine gibsmedats as much as possible.

It's cultural you numbskull. Do you really think that Russians suddenly became religious but didn't change in any other way at all since the fall of the SU? No.
The explanation is simple: the Kremlin is pushing religion as a uniting factor, as they have lost pretty much all others there.
The nubmbers are doctored. The higher the number they push is, the more people will take it for fact.
You western Russiaboos are the worst. Stop taking about things you don't understand.

you can't prove that someone's larping that's the point in a way, but like another anon said, yes church attendance rises but so does prostitution, porn, divorce, aids, smoking, drinking etc. People see church as a club, and that's bad because they pay more attention to the protocols and social norms rather than to the morals or values.

To Orthodox, icons are direct lines of communication to the saint, that's why they're painted in the same way, and blessed in the same way.

Orthodoxy itself has some merit, and the unsanctioned Orthodox churches were doing some good, but the Russian state church is just a pale shell and mockery of the intent. It's unfortunate they criminalized the proselytizing of other denominations.

I understand the government push but your explanation is literally just a guess. I'm working purely on the numbers. You say the numbers are false. I'm not against the idea, the sample isn't much anyway - Only 1600 - but you'll have to actually give some proof else I'll just chalk it up to denial. As refusal to accept claims without reason is tantamount TO denial. Especially when the organization who did it is not of the government.

Organized religion tends to come about from claims of validity of the church's (or whatever structure they have) authority. Granted you can doubt the legitimacy of their worldview or their historical claims like you could any view but to dismiss "organized religion" is just to internalize Protestant culture and not think there is anything else. Authoritative claims about a religion - such as the canon of the Bible in Christianity - comes about by organized religion.

Now in regards to Christianity, reading the Bible is a mixed concept in the first place. There is absolutely nothing wrong with reading Christian scripture inherently but churches provide texts for teaching their denomination's doctrine in plain text (catechisms) and other subsequent texts along with their own liturgies providing multiple scripture readings. As such it's much more complicated than you picture.

>fuck /pol/ standards, I make my own

A miracle anon, hopefully the Faith will continue to grow. God bless all the Christians here, and may the lord guide us and the faithless on the straight and narrow.

You balts are no better than western russiaboos. You are just consumed by butthurt.
Many Russians were religious in SU, especially rural areas. They were just suppressed. Right now they don't need to hide it in fear of the state.
In cities people are obviously more atheist or "cultural" Christian, but that's the case pretty much everywhere in the West.

>Hime was one of your trip friends.
I believe I remember who you speak of. Talked to Outerlimits often, that guy. Pretty sure he went to /his/ and got attached to the Orthodox posters there.

>Here's some advice for you. Stopp trying to 'change the world' through posting on 4chan, it's laughable. It's basically a distraction from improving yourself and making change in places a lot more challenging than a little forum.

You have me at pause here. I suppose I have been very interested in what happened here in /pol/ with Christianity through 2014-15 and happy with my part in it. Granted I'm just timewasting now until work starts in 25 minutes and generally posting less but you are right that I still make a distraction out of it.

Thank you, man. I appreciate it.

well there you go, the church seeks authority (the main ones anyway, the catholic church isn't even a church it's more of a bank), and has been historically intertwined with the state, helping keeping the masses at bay
controlling, manipulating, and overall making a killing off the people they are pretending to care about just goes against the bible's teachings if you ask me

Well, what you've posted so far is irrelevant to what I said, you were just arguing whether or not Russian Christians are Christian.
>strike at a phantasm of his own creation
That's what I've seen in the churches my parents used to take me to, and in the god fearing countryside. People hoarding overpriced merchandise and bottles of vodka in the hopes that God will make their shitty lives better without them ever trying to accomplish something themselves. And when the government makes them shittier, guess where they go and what they do. This cancerous mentality of waiting for a big daddy to do something is what keeps Russia where it is today. The Tsar, the Emperor, the Communist party, the president. The names are different, the essence is the same. The only way in which the commies were special is that they replaced "God" with "the bright communist future".

No one really prays to god for gibs. Those who do aren't any different from those who idolize our glorious leader. There will always be dumb people.

Real believers come to accept God through introspection, philosophy and living life, just as they come to atheism when they're 16.

There is about a 75% chance that is me. Other 25% is that it's his little sister who has been tutoring him.

>Thank you, man. I appreciate it.
The past is all good stuff, you kind of have to justify it somehow since it ultimatly is what leads to you in the present state.

People that post here a lot ultimatly feel powerless in one aspect of their life or another so they try to marshal others to overthrow or remove some obstacle. In terms of time spent it's much easier to just improve yourself than to get the world to change by preaching to others. However in terms of psychological courage the shit-posting is a lot easier, there's no inner reflection and confrontation with your own shadow. You get immediate results with plenty of (you)s and get to see people wearing the same hat as you for awhile. But than you leave the computer screen and you're back to an undeveloped life. That creates a cycle in of itself.

You are confused, the church has the authority in their worldview already. Involvement in the state just comes from any worldview that has normative ethics or a claim of facts.

I apologize but I really do not have much time left to chat. I'll have to just say that you misunderstand the scenario and leave it at that.

No fuck you. Nobody wants your stupid Cucktholicism or your Jehova cults. The authority of the church should never be subverted by such heresies.

Kazakh posters are the best. Here in California the former Soviet despora still go to church with there stereotypical families. Even tho they do the most irreligious things behind doors. For example a pastor would go talking about how virginity is sacred and preaching to the young while his daughter is fucking them. Its cancer becouse the kids that grow up through it have a difficult time in the real world when there older because the way they were raised is different and they have to Americanize. Its really cancer.

if you say so
my only argument is that most of the higher ups within the church aren't in it for holy servitude and salvation of their followers
and overall as an entity, no one I would ever trust
but there are indeed individuals who spread the word of god in an attempt to help put people on the right path
