Orthodox Christian here!

Happy to answer all your questions of our mysterious and ancient church.

We're actually way more understanding, progressive, and less strict than the Catholics or protestants.

For example! We don't believe in indulgences, confessions, definitive sin, and other silly heathen ideas.

We simply believe in the most basic teachings of Jesus Christ, and that the bible is nothing more than a collection of ancient stories from around the ancient world meant to promote ethics, morals, and understanding.

I hear it's hard and kind of off for a white American to join the church. Is this true?

Wish more people was aware of Orthodoxy's existence.

And other ancient forms of our religion like Monophysite or Nestorian, today being Coptic and Syriac Christians.

"HURR CATHOLOCS AINT XTIAN CUZ THEY DO DIS AND DAT", whilst all of the 3 denoms do most of the same stuff roughly. Saint veneration even exists in Anglican-derived Prottiestansim, to a degree in Lutheranism I heard.

Why do Orthodox people hate reason and logic, why do Orthodox nations tend to be massively supersititous, when will people finally stop hyping you up because your churches look cool and unique and go back to Catholicism which has rich, interesting theology while the Orthodox Church offers nothing of worth?

>Why do Orthodox people hate reason and logic, why do Orthodox nations tend to be massively supersititous

It's not that we 'hate reason and logic,' but that we recognize God and his mysteries cannot be rationally or logically analyzed, categorized, and explained. Orthodox countries are more superstitious, probably because - like the rest of the non-Western European world, it never had its own industrial revolution. There's an argument to be made that industrialization, and hence anti-superstition found its root in protestantism, but that's hardly an argument for protestantism's theological validity and more a point of historical and worldly contribution.

>Catholicism which has rich, interesting theology while the Orthodox Church offers nothing of worth?

The Orthodox Church has more to offer than you realize because most of it is Eastern languages. What has been translated into Western languages has been strong enough to build a new flowering of the Church on this side of the world, though, which is a testament to its strength.
