The American Federation aka “the Union” is no different than the EU

2018-08-16 16:28:48 UTC  

We need to exit the Union

2018-08-16 16:29:04 UTC  

There are many nations under Union occupation

2018-08-16 16:29:13 UTC  

The South/Dixie

2018-08-16 16:29:25 UTC  

The Pacific Northwest/Cascadia

2018-08-16 16:29:41 UTC

Has anyone read The Disunited States of America by Henry Turtledove?

2018-08-16 16:58:50 UTC  

It’s a fascinating book where the US never became a united country and each state became its own nation with vastly different cultures some of which would constantly eat with one another.

2018-08-16 16:58:58 UTC  

*war not eat

2018-08-16 17:02:52 UTC  

America is the result of an oligarchal secession lead by Freemasons and funded by the French.

2018-08-16 17:04:24 UTC  

@Byzas Latin’s still used in the western orthodox rite afaik

2018-08-16 17:04:48 UTC  

Indeed!

2018-08-16 17:04:51 UTC  

It’s a beautiful language. Liturgical languages are in general.

2018-08-16 17:04:58 UTC  

I agree

2018-08-16 17:05:29 UTC  

I almost converted via Western rite bit there was a Byzantine church a bit closer to home

2018-08-16 17:06:37 UTC  

Same, but I found a russian Orthodox Church that did the Liturgy in English and Slavonic that was much closer and I enjoy it.

2018-08-16 17:07:08 UTC  

My parish uses a little bit of Slavonic, mostly English though
serbs

2018-08-16 17:08:19 UTC  

I’m gonna visit the western Orthodox Church some day. I’m also considering joining one near the college I’ll be attending.

2018-08-16 17:10:46 UTC  

The one near me is actually still a mission, liturgy is in a room in the priest's house. Nineteen years and they haven't had the funds to build a church because they've always had a small congregation

2018-08-16 17:18:12 UTC  

There's an ortho place up the road from my parish, think it mainly does greek, but there are also some slavonic services.

2018-08-16 17:23:56 UTC  

That's interesting. Do you know what jurisdiction it is?

2018-08-16 17:24:47 UTC  

The Greek parish nearest me does the singing mixed in Greek and English but the creed, the Our Father, etc, are done in 3-4 different languages

2018-08-16 17:29:30 UTC  

@Based Chav It might be carpatho-russian or OCA

2018-08-16 18:10:40 UTC  

One of my parishes is Carpatho-ruthenian

2018-08-16 21:58:02 UTC  

Kyle you're right retarded ahahahah

2018-08-16 22:30:46 UTC  

Epic bait

2018-08-17 07:00:12 UTC  

Anyone want to learn to lead inductive Bible studies to be able to do this kind of thing?

2018-08-17 08:54:32 UTC  

Inductive bible study?

2018-08-17 09:46:30 UTC  

Trying to inspire virtue in a "Cool Wine Aunt"-esque receptionist is like beating your fists against a brick wall.

2018-08-17 10:58:22 UTC  

Also, would any of you have any good counter arguments for "Muh religion causes all wars"?

2018-08-17 14:21:21 UTC  

Literally any war in history

2018-08-17 14:21:44 UTC  

Because actually none of them were specifically caused by religion

2018-08-17 14:22:14 UTC  

Religion may shave been a part of the war but it was never the reason it started

2018-08-17 14:31:24 UTC  

@Based Chav "Just because religion might have been used as a justification or motivator by leaders and those in power doesn't mean it was the actual cause of war. Almost every war in history has been over the same things- power and resources. Using religion as a cover for the need for power and resources doesn't mean religion was the cause- just an easy justification and motivator to get people to fight for their leader/tribe's power and resources."

You went to that church?

2018-08-17 15:08:04 UTC  

It was shut :(

2018-08-17 15:08:13 UTC  

But we looked round it
