What Religion are You?

[Bad Brain]

If you went to a remote island and a cannibal ate you, would that be "iffy"?

Yes

 

[VonBonfire]

If you need more than a high level "english translation" then fuck, learn Hebrew I guess LOL

Most people don't need to know this level, you might just want to become a scholar yourself.

My point is I trust my priest in these matters more than you because he understands the deeper meanings and traditions. It's not a career path like science, it's service out of love to your fellow orthodox christians and to others. It's the only institution founded upon love. Isn't that nice?

He doesn’t understand anymore than anyone else.
He’s been given dogmatic answers by his superiors to dole out to the people who put money in their coffers.

 

[Bad Brain]

Would you be acting "iffy" if you wore sunglasses upon reaching their island considering their culture adamantly considers covering ones eyes an action punishable by death?

No

Inbred New Guy Tranny Schrödinger’s Donnie WEF is losing the game?

The orthodox church is pre-denominational. It doesn't have "canned answers" for you. Nothing is being sold there.

 

[Bad Brain]

Then you need to think more about that.

humor me.

 

[WEF Chairman]

Of course it is. The Orthodox Church is no different than its Catholic sister. The uniforms and paintings and relics are a bit more morose, but that’s it.

Lol, you aren't very aware of orthodoxy, like most westerners. No fault of yours tbh.

 

[Bad Brain]

Who has the right answer? ( Don't tell me your opinion, we're talking about culture and societal rules here )

What do you mean if not my opinion? Of course all kinds of horrible things have been justified throughout history by various societies and cultures. This isn't a good argument for why the "iffy" crap in the bible, especially as directed or condoned by god, is excusable.

 

[WEF Chairman]

Lol, you aren't very aware of orthodoxy, like most westerners. No fault of yours tbh.

More than you know pal. Just because you want to put a big bow on it and frame it in a different light because it happens to be your faith doesn’t make it special. Unlike the guy who won’t answer, I went to a well known Jesuit university and have an advanced degree on this subject.

So what's your excuse?

 

[Bad Brain]

So you don't have an answer. You need to think more of that.

I do have an answer, I just told you: My opinion is that the "iffy" stuff in the bible is not morally justifiable, especially when directed or condoned by god. To me it diminishes the book's credibility, if it had any to start with.

 

[Bad Brain]

Who determines what is "iffy"? You? Your culture allows death penalty. My culture doesn't. Who is correct?

Yes, I make the determination. And to condense a pretty complicated question — yours.

 

[WEF Chairman]

So what's your excuse?

I should be asking you.

 

[WEF Chairman]

No death penalty, no resurrection.

 

[VonBonfire]

I should be asking you.

You should be, but you're not I guess. An orthodox seminary would've worked out better for you. Just saying.

Admittedly, the evolution theory is fantastical if not outright absurd... but that doesn't meant the bible is true ?

The problem with trying to make someone realize that evolution is a real, and still occurring thing, is that their often deep seated biases also go against any evidence of recent evolution.
Viruses evolve every year but “they” don’t believe in medicine (or viruses themselves)
Insects have evolved to handle the effects of global warming but “they” don’t believe in global warming,
Not to mention how quickly pests evolve to be resistant to pesticides.

Now take a broad brush and imagine the “they” I was talking about, and then compare to their thoughts on evolution/religion

 

[Bad Brain]

Of people who all play by their own individual rules. I would argue that is far worse than anything in history.

Very debatable. ...As if the various states and governments have done such a great job and like totally not killed, enslaved or imprisoned millions and not to mention made a mess of the earth.

God was not created. At least not in the sense we understand.

Yeah, people made him up.
