and was baptized at the age of 4 i believe, in Serbian Orthodox Church

2017-04-11 16:06:16 UTC  

My most immediate friends aren't religious, but society in general is latently religious, and massively declares as such, over 98% of people declaring as religious

2017-04-11 16:06:20 UTC  

but it's only declaration

2017-04-11 16:06:54 UTC  

herds understanding of religion, always includes murder, group sex, drugs, foul language etc

2017-04-11 16:06:56 UTC  

ONE CAN FEEL RELIGIOUS

2017-04-11 16:07:01 UTC  

WITHOUT WANTING TO GO TO CHURCH

i subscribed to orthodox theology, monarchism and worldview at one point in the past, briefly

2017-04-11 16:08:52 UTC  

a lot of gay mystical nazis approach religion from a sensual or pragmatic perspective

2017-04-11 16:08:55 UTC  

but at that time i was leaning more towards greek understanding of orthodoxy, and evne russian to an extent, than to Serbian

2017-04-11 16:09:13 UTC  

Serbian orthodox Christians are mostly fervently anti-Catholic, while I was not as much

2017-04-11 16:09:55 UTC  

Catholicism is to an extent, considered a mortal enemy of Serbs, and Vatican is seen as a main culprit of crimes against Serbs done by Catholics, even more than the people themselves

2017-04-11 16:10:35 UTC  

what's the most major religious festival

2017-04-11 16:10:47 UTC  

Christmass and Easter among Christians

2017-04-11 16:10:57 UTC  

how are both celebrated, briefly

2017-04-11 16:11:05 UTC  

is there any contrast to western europe/america

2017-04-11 16:11:32 UTC  

Christmass by fasting and burning of those great bonfires on the christmass eve

2017-04-11 16:11:44 UTC  

how many people would fast

2017-04-11 16:11:46 UTC  

and by traditional lunches and religious services on christmass day itself

2017-04-11 16:11:49 UTC  

depends

2017-04-11 16:12:12 UTC  

full fasting would often be performed by not especially pious people due to health benefits

2017-04-11 16:12:23 UTC  

if you had to just throw a %age out

2017-04-11 16:12:37 UTC  

On Easter, dying eggs, fasting and "breaking" of eggs is performed

2017-04-11 16:12:52 UTC  

and abstinence from all work on Good Friday

2017-04-11 16:12:59 UTC  

I'm unsure

2017-04-11 16:13:08 UTC  

how closely is this adhered to

2017-04-11 16:13:09 UTC  

of general population, notm any perform the entire fast

2017-04-11 16:13:12 UTC  

Good Friday, not working

2017-04-11 16:13:13 UTC  

of pious, many do

2017-04-11 16:13:25 UTC  

nobody does anything on good friday

2017-04-11 16:13:26 UTC  

any length of the fast

2017-04-11 16:13:32 UTC  

would count

2017-04-11 16:13:35 UTC  

towards the figure

2017-04-11 16:13:45 UTC  

both fastings last 40 days

2017-04-11 16:14:01 UTC  

if someone even makes the intention to fast but doesn't do a single day

2017-04-11 16:14:05 UTC  

I'm inclined to ask you to consider that too
