You don't have to be very smart to realize religion is a load of crap. They look like they're going to an anime convention, imagine wasting your life on that shit.

More like they want to be wizards. Orthodox is even more of a joke than Catholicism

Going to miss out on some bitchin threads

>they are progressists (the opposite of what all traditional religion says)
>Their moral is usually the opposite of the traditional one
>They usually don't like religious institutions because they are leftist
>They don't have saints/spiritual fathers able to guide them on the dangerous spiritual path
>They are often materialist, meaning in this case that they are not able to see something universal beyond this material world. They are like materialist with feels and spirits.
>So it can be understood that they use traditional spirituel concepts only to deform it in order to please their horizontal appetite or inclination.
>They think they can reach the spiritual by themself, but because there is nothing spiritual, only sentimental and moral in their doctrine.
>Destroy everything they touch, they mix different religions together without coherence and understanding
>They are only a diversion to stop people from seeking the real spirituality
In orthodoxy there is a method (hesychasm), there are saints/spiritual fathers to guide you, there is a moral, there is a tradition (fathers of the church), there is real rites (unchanged since the 6th century after the fathers of the church gave them their definitive form), there is no homosexuality and progressism with only women praying (like in papism),...

Finally Uni's paid off:

"The concept of the necessary lie; an untruth, is needed to make Kant's moral philosophy practical and defendable. While one could look to Utilitarianism as an answer to Kant's moral philosophy, instead it would be prudent to look at what Kant had to say about the idea of a necessary lie or an untruth. While Kant's moral philosophy was absolutist, his philosophy on the ethics of lying has proven to be a lot more intricate and complex. In his later years, Kant’s perspective changed to better include the concept of the necessary lie, to what he termed an untruth or an Emergency Lie. It was deemed acceptable to tell a lie if it wouldn't aid the unethical. To look back at the murderer scenario from before, now there is a way to lie to the murderer because the murderer is using your honesty as a tool for evil. Consequence and context have now been taken into account, which allow for Kant's moral philosophy to be considered practical and defendable. This Emergency Lie is necessary to avoid corruption or danger. The philosopher Dietrich Benhoeffer in an essay considered the idea that some lies are more representative of truth than the alternative. To be telling a lie that would positively impact the other person regardless of the negative aspect of lying. This situation was what Benhoeffer called the living truth. The living truth is a necessary lie used to express a more important truth in context. The categorical imperative can be assumed now as allowing both of these lies to occur. Instead of pushing for whatever the truth may be, it's asking you to understand what it would mean to tell the truth and with whom you share that 'truth' to."
