They're all fuck ups.

The Orthodox Church hasn't fucked up as much as the others.

Sure it has. Its just does not have a huge presence in the West.

Its almost a state organ in the East. At the upper levels.

And so is protected.

It is an organ of the state and has been for a long time.

Unfortunately.

It can be your take on it

But it has served as a system in order in the East.

'System of order'?

And, now with the downfall of communism, while a disastrous experiment, it now too serves as a bulwark against Western decadence.

Jesus lol

It is a cultural shield from the West.

Its a propaganda organ, mixing both theology and politics. You're setting the stage for Tsardom again.

Yes

And?

good thing tbh

Lol

does the tsar have any living relatives?

of russia

Doubt they are in Russia.

I read that a few distant ones fled to the US.

Restoring the Tsardom would be a stupid idea. Not only because of how the world is today, but also because Monarchism is inherently stupid. Are you going to wed brothers and sisters again, to keep the bloodline clear?

Also when the Church is interfered in politics, it doesn't serve God, but the state.

So yes, a bad idea.

its bad, but still better than what we have tbh

Yes

Putin is much better than the Tsardom, what are you on about?

Yes but with Putin the church is an organ of the state.

Unfortunately.

What's so unfortunate?

> When the Church is interfered in politics, it doesn't serve God, but the state.
So yes, a bad idea.

Unfortunate that the women cannot be whores and are whipped by state police.

unfortunate that homosexuals are not infesting the youth as it is set by state.

Unfortunate indeed that capitalism does not serve as God of the state.

How superficial of you, to see the surface of all things, and not think more.

When church is separated from the state God is not served either.

We are in a post church state in the Western world

God has been relegated to a mere passing tradition.

Money serves as the state's God. Because not even the Church can survive without money.

We focus more on the material
