How anyone can read the sermon on the mount and not see it has proto-anarchist is completely beyond me.

Or read the various other parts of the bible and see that Jesus was talking about the individualvoluntarily helping the poor rather than robbing people and giving their money to the poor.
Forcing your values on others doesn't make those people good people and it certainly doesn't make you one either. The entire message of Jesus was centered around the individual accepting the message by their own accord.

Look, it doesn't matter what the Bible says, because it has enough anarchist, socialist, "voluntarist", nationalist, statist, and other ideological verses all mixed up in it to ensure that whatever position you come from, you can still be a Christian. The only thing the Bible takes a firm stance on is groups so unpopular and insignificant at the time that it was okay to offend them, like gays and hysterical women, but even still you can find some generic verse that allows these things.

wew. And given the absolute state of evangelicals in Burgerland, the other denominations really aren't in a position to throw shade at the orthodoxy over promoting war. Especially considering that most of Russia's military actions on the world stage have been strictly reactionary, which really can't be said of NATO.

America has a number of issues since the Orthodox Church has about three or four renditions here (there's the Greek church, the old Russian church, the Soviet-era church, and the "new" American church- they're all officially recognized as Orthodox but none of them are recognized as the one Orthodox church in America). At the local level we're all Orthodox and it doesn't matter and we freely use each others churches, but at the national level (and political level) we're separate entities and it's a jumbled mess in America. If you have to have a top-down structure, at the international level at least, technically my church would respond to Metropolitan Isaiah (Chronopoulos) of Denver since he's a sort of "regional director" and he'd respond to Archbishop Demetrios of America, who is the closest thing to a "internationally recognized patriarch" in America.

'nother Orthodoxfag here, any advice on how to get back in touch with the church? Went through a fedora-tipper phase in my teens and avoided the church for a while still not a believer in the Christian God per se (but open to the idea) , but definitely a believer in the church if that makes sense, any suggestions for getting back into the church?

I understand completely. I have times when I feel the same way even still. My only advice would be to go to church and maybe talk with your fellow members post-sermon. I know my church does coffee post-service and usually we do an informal pot luck at least twice a month after service.

Ritual is the lifeblood of a prosperous religion. "Free worship man, 's all cool" sentiment is what helped the West slip that much faster down the gutter, whether it's lesbian bishops now or John Calvin advocating proto-white guilt.

is it not "It's easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle"? That says nothing about impossibility, just about difficulty. The common interpretation is that it shows that people cannot earn salvation, as well as emphasizing the cost of being attached to earth. Beyond that, the rich were considered by rabbis as blessed by God, and thus more fit for heaven. So, what he said may just be refuting that notion.

I certainly agree that Catholicism is shit-tier, especially in CY+4, but that's an odd way to criticize it–how can it be a parasite if St. Peter, an Apostle, was the first Pope? It was basically there from the start, so it's hard to call it a "tumor."

I'm a Blublub. Jesus was actually the first Blublub. How can I be bad if Jesus was the first Blublub like I am now? Please ignore the fact that I give meth enemas to little boys and fuck them until they die of septicemia.
This is a claim from the roman catholic church, which didn't even start until after Niceum. It doesn't validate anything.

Well if we want to get nitpicky, Orthodogs didn't start until then either, it was all just "the church" until then, right?
I am Orthodogs myself and not a huge fan of Catlicks, don't mistake this for apologism. My autism is just getting mildly triggered from calling a group that's been there more or less from the start a "parasite."

Hey, didn't get accepted in the party, faggot? Don't worry, all of that and much, much more will come to you after you join the orthodox church, all the children, golden clothes, expensive cars, soft pope asses, cops and those sweet sweet donations, all will come to you but only if you post "thank you for your flesh and blood, lord jesus, thank you for letting me eat them over and over".

pope jp2 was used to priests being accused of pedophilia because he lived in communist poland and communists did not like catholicism and wanted to degrade priests by such accusations
