So for the sake of being human, at the very least read about Orthodoxy despite me being unbeknownst to you.

This is also what I resent

We cant just talk about theology and stuff it's for some reason gotta be a ploy to get me to take the bath

I appreciate the kindness

But I respectfully decline

What makes you believe this is a ploy?

If it is meant in good faith is it a plot to convert, or simply me being a friend?

You're telling me to read orthodox literature when I've stated it's not for me

Why else would someone as Christian as you are start off a conversation with "why do you reject christ" when I simply said I'm of a different perspective

It isn't to get into my head and understand how I think

Because you're perspective is wrong and your way of worship is perverted

The last virtues of a dying society are tolerance and acceptance

^ a quote from a pagan

😂

Still a good quote

DUHHHH pagan cannot talk about society

Ok how about you go shoot yourself

uh huh..

Really feelin' the empathy

In my opinion pagans are the most idiotic people alive

I've literally never heard an argument for paganism besides "less Jew"

They directly ignore all philosophies all due to the belief of “Muh might is right”. Most pagans are just larpers anyways. I’ve never seen them actually commit to their beliefs.

Well everyone is different

In my experience it's been the opposite

90% of Christian's are lukewarm Christian's.

Doesn't matter what denomination

We can look up the statistics for abortion, rape, murder, STDs in all "trad orthoducks" nation's and see how much higher they are than secular/ even Catholic states

You'll find that for most of them it's lower because most secular and Catholic states have north Africans or sub Saharan Africans

Thing is most of the "trad orthoduck" nations are full with crypto atheists just like in western nations

Sad...can't believe Christ would allow this to happen to his one true church..

I wonder why people turn away

Abortion in eastern Europe is a direct result of the pasts communist influence.

It has nothing to do with the recent rise in Orthodoxy.

As for rape murder and stds Catholic nations have that in droves.

On top of the fact that the papal office supports homosexuality and female clergy.

It's up to the younger generation to restore the good old days of Christianity and do activities like Jewish and homosexual pogroms

You realize that you accusing the papacy of supporting female clergy is over something Orthodoxy already does?

I was under the impression that female ordination was not allowed in the RCC?

It's not

The controversy is in regards to deaconesses

Are they allowed to preach and/or give the sacraments?
