I attend a Byzantine Rite church for Divine Liturgy, but canonically I'm in the Latin Church. How are you enjoying the Nativity Fast?

He probably thought you were an anti-Christian agitator. Christian doctrine in general is often misunderstood to be "cucked" because of misinterpretation of "turn the other cheek", and he probably thought you were attempting to hide such a criticism under the guise of a question. I apologize on his behalf! Feel free to ask any more questions.

I suggest reading the Sayings of the Desert Fathers, which contains the distilled wisdom of centuries of early monastics who dealt with similar situations. Another reccomendation would be "The Spiritual Combat" (or "The Unseen Warfare") by Dom Lorenzo Scipoli, which is a classic in spiritual warfare-type topics. There is also a TAN Books manual called "Manual for Conquering Deadly Sin", that seems like it is well-suited for your questions. I can post some passages from any of these, if you'd like a sample.

Jesus defeated Satan. the temptations of lucifer were nothing in front of the King of Kings, The Lord, The Messiah God in the flesh.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
