    If you went to Russia or Greece and told an Orthodox man that eating soup is feminine he would probably beat the crap out of you and then go back to eating his delicious soup

    Every Anglo I’ve met who converted to Eastern Orthodoxy was absolutely a Deus Vult racist against Muslims and tried to hide it behind Byzantine aesthetics. Adult converts to monotheisms are usually reactionary nuts, but this kind has a little extra flair

      As far as I’m concerned, no one ‘finds god’ from a genuine cultural or spiritual standpoint but only does so as a means of getting the best deal possible.

      What’s so macho about wanting a life where you’re treated like a princess solely for what’s between your legs? Absolute bourgeois decadence.

          i mean yeah i agree, all religions are cringe. but islam has a million times more juice than any other religion, so if you’re gonna convert it’s the least sus option

              That’s all the criteria anyone converting to any religion today has for doing so, notwithstanding the fact that its genuinely the worst reason for it. Juice = greed, hedonism & predation

              The Abrahamic religions have all been co-opted by the bourgeois capitalist empires for centuries, & are mostly just secret societies for people who are so insufferably petty that they could have their lives ruined if you found out one of them gave a great blowjob.

              I think one should just lock themselves in a cage in the basement instead of conversion

    I WAS RIGHT

    I knew someone who claimed to be nb & were also orthodox. Then I found out she was baiting queer women & doxxing them regularly. Why she tried anything on an AMAB idk but she got mad that I figured her out.

        Darkmatter2525 is still kind of cool, he remounced his former “anti-woke” phase and is somewhat level headed.

        But I would nut for an atheism renaissance hopefully with the hogs just flocking to religion already. Just makes them easier to debunk when they flat out admit they only believe what they do for special treatment. Besides, we are materialists so our ideas are conceived from material reality.

          I’m pulling for people to go anti-imperial/anti-US with the same level of smugness as they watch the empire continue to crumble. “Sorry, I believe in science, and capitalism induces contradictions that lead to its own collapse. USians owned”.

    Literally one of the best parts of going to Orthodox mass was the lunch they served afterwards, with generous helpings of borscht and solyanka. I genuinely cannot believe anyone would say that consuming these amazing dishes is ‘feminine’. Complete toss.

    (Something Catholics should take note on rather than trying to cram as many masses into three days as possible)
