The bolsheviks didn’t get much right but their opinion bout religion was spot on

The state should look after the spiritual wellbeing of it's people as well as their physical, moral and financial

No, religion is one of the founding elements of a state, all in theology, education, and general philosophy.

The majority of early philosophers were religious and conveyed their belief and desire in a higher power.

No

That was a short descussion

Because atheists wont provide any.

Lmao

Yes.

Rome's military could not quell Germanic paganist influence in their northern provinces, a monk with an axe on a tree did.

God wills “For you will spread out to the right and to the left, and your descendants will dispossess nations and inhabit the desolate cities.”

There should definitely be a separation of church and state. No religion should dictate the laws within a society.

If the state funds the church, then the church will preach the will of the state not god

yeah sure

@Attika no

orthodox church has the best model

The state's job is to preserve the spirit of the nation and the wellbeing of the citizens - things that go hand in hand. Religion and State should not be separated.

Modern society has proven that secular societies are not able to keep their moral integrity.

As such, they are a threat.

Humanity will destroy itself in it's squalor if religion is not reintegrated into society and the state at large.

@Om 🕉 What is the orthodox model for church and state?

@Iahhel The King is the Patriarch and there are separate Patriarchs for each state.

Yes.

There is no centralized authority.

Respective jurisdictions have their respective Patriarchs and are equal in level.

Except apparently the primacy of Rome

Head of all churches

fuck off

yes

- to the Uniates, maybe.

To the church yes

Помните: ни слова о религии

The Vatican has always been greasy and corrupt

Can thank the GERMINS for bankrolling them for hundreds of years.

Is that why the other churches deferred to Rome? They considered it prime.

The state should control the church, that's all

Buddhist theocracy when

dooby..

oh shit raven

@Light If the state controls the church then it controls the morality and beliefs of the Church
