"I'm Orthodox because it's the church with the best optics"

True. I have never met a cat that would bring it up, except after "sacking constantinople" argument. But surely the mistakes were on both sides.

I’ve never heard this said about St. Augustine, but many Orthodox believe the Roman church moved away from the mystical aspect of the faith and towards movements like scholasticism and rationalism. It’s sort of a generalisation but if you look at the Eastern icons versus the Western icons a difference certainly emerges. The West gets into naturalism but the East focuses more on mystic depictions, not totally lifelike.

Idk maybe it’s just I’ve just been staring at Icons for hours.

I think that's more true of Protestantism.. and Catholics get unfairly bundled in it, because it's all the "West" to some.

What's worse is Protestants truly ran with the rationalist approach where within a few centuries, they produced myriads of pozzed scholars who doubted the scriptures.. and gave us the craptastic modern age we're enduring now.

That doesn't really make sense unless you're already presupposing a given church is the true church. For example, an orthodox could argue that it is attacked by the devil, namely the catholic church, and a catholic could claim that protestantism is satan, or that sedes are satan, and even a prostestant could argue that other protestant movements are satan.

It's definitely more true of Protestantism than RC. Some crazy sects even deny that there are any mysteries.

He does. But our Church is more resilient. Gates of Hell will not prevail…etc.

Frankly, if God is too much of a coward to step up and take responsibility for his actions and his followers are more than happy to enable his reckless behaviour under the common argument "muh free will exonerates God", why should I, or anyone, even bother following the impotent retard?

I see now why the kikes laugh at Christianity. It's a joke religion predicated entirely behind 'Heaven on a Stick,' don't mess up or you're going to suffer for eternity! This farce is unnecessary.

I spit on god.

Really just think about it. If your son murdered his brother then of course he should be punished. But wouldn't you contemplate your failures as a father?

God isn't infallible, so why would I follow him?

You might spit on god but NEVER on God.
And what exactly do you consider God's failures?
And for which of HIS actions specifically should he take responsibility for?
God is not just a father.

It is just a Charlie post.
