I am someone that grew up Greek Orthodox. Have lived both in Greece and among the diaspora in burgerland.

In the west it's an immigrant social club full of Reaganites and rightist conspiracy nutjobs.
In the east they are a xenophobic racist anti-semitic cult tied to intelligence agencies and organized crime.
>Is it the patrician form of Christianity
Not at all. I would say even prots are better. Orthodoxy is intellectually bankrupt compared to other forms of Christianity and is mostly just pseudo-mysticism. If you want to christlarp go Catholic. They have a rich intellectual and literary tradition. I myself am a Marxist now. You don't know how ashamed I feel to have been born in a brainless and tasteless family and an intellectually bankrupt and backward culture.

You just confirmed the stereotype that Greek Orthodox are liberal Americanized cucks compared to the various, more traditional Slavic Orthodox Churches.

>>17590184
aligning with "progressive" political ideologies over family is proof of utmost moral poverty

>I myself am a Marxist now.
Thank you for letting us know your opinion can be discarded. My formal catechesis will continue unabated.

>>17590217
based desu

>religion of the future
Not in Russian abortionland that's for sure. And the people on Twitter don't reproduce.

>>17590184

I second this. Georgian Orthodox here, it's just a meme.

Dumb zoomer tradlarpers
"BASED BASED BASED"
"CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE"
"JEW HANDS JEW HANDS"
"LIBTARD LIBTARD LIBTARD"
You only proved the stereotype that zoomer tradlarpers don't really care about """tradition""" they just want to find something to dress up as that is "based" and "redpilled" to their brain dead internet clique something that is "based" and racist that will own all the libtards.

What’s going on here

>>17590286
You presume to know my reasons for converting. I'm not converting for tribalist political reasons, or a meme. I'm converting because I believe in the religion.

>>17590286
Trad people aren't the type who say "libtard." That's the normiecon, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson crowd who says that. Trads hate those sorts of people as much as they hate leftists.

>>17590309
"Trads" are those people they are just much further in their retardation

>>17590300
this desu

>>17590323
Trads disagree with normiecons on almost everything. Trads are also profoundly intelligent, whereas normiecons are at least as retarded as leftists if not even more retarded.

>>17590286
appreciating your family has nothing to do with retarded internet ideologies

you seem like a bad person

"Trads" "normiecons" shut up with your retarded memespeak. You are just a brain dead internet clique. That is all.

>>17590270
I guess it's possible the Orthodox church makes a recovery among a segment of the population. But the Muslim population there, as I understand it, is growing quickly. And given the whole tradzoom to musloom pipeline of politicized religious consooming, Orthodoxy would lose ground to Islam. On the other hand there are neopagan revivals in Russia, a dark horse candidate for the most basado.

Holy based...

They are just labels for making accurate observations about groups of people. There is nothing wrong with them in a casual discussion as long as you acknowledge that there is more nuance among some people. They are generalizations but mostly accurate.

>>17590376
they mean nothing whatever people you seem to think they define do not exist

>>17590363
You people always speak of it as if it is just some fad. This couldn't be farther from the truth.

>>17590389
wrong desu

>>17590373
I have literally never looked at pornography in my life.

Ignorant people speak of Orthodoxy as if it is just another Internet clique fashion statement, but because they have no understanding of the Triune God and the Logos, they fail to see that Orthodoxy is necessarily the one true religion from which all others diverted (Logos Spermaticos). Fads come and go, but Orthodoxy is truth.

Nobody is discussing the book in the thread. Lit is fucking dead

The boom is ok, some of his conspiracy predictions are kinda retarded. Demons are going to co exist with us on earth? Come on. It was also revealed after he wrote the book that the UFO sightings were mostly fake and the CIA was running the UFO testimonials.

Also some of his circle jerking about orthodoxy was cringe. I did agree with him that there is no human-organized conspiracy and it’s happening on the spiritual level

>>17590743
>Demons are going to co exist with us on earth Come on.
He was right.

>>17590388
You're a believer? Not a fad to you of course. Now, you are welcome to believe something for whatever reason but betting on its wider success is another animal.
