In the east they are a xenophobic racist anti-semitic cult tied to intelligence agencies and organized crime.
Its converters are usually wacko prots or weird social reject racists.
>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 Communist now.

The word of God isnt a trivial matter of metaphoric interpretation. Ancient greeks were too backward in their pagan practices and superstitious make belief world they deemed as "love for wisdom" to understand how revelation works.

And instead of acknowledging Christ as God's final message to humanity they just went

>Uuuuh this guy made magic and was the son of God*...uhhh so a mythical hero like Achilles? Yes that must be it he'll fit in our pre-existing pagan pantheon just fine.

>But WAIT! Didnt Plato say the highest form from the world of forms is The Absolute but which humans can never grasp and Aristotle said the highest Good is also The Absolut? Well, now this Jesus guy is the son of God! We finally found the peace of the missing puzzle of our mumbo jumbo pagan pantheist circlejerks!

>What's that, religious order on what to eat and how to behave? Nah no thanks

*Not to mention son of God means something entirely different in the bible than their pre-existing known pagan notion of a physical son-father relationship which they knew of.

A man close to God, a righteous man, a pious man. Jesus was also not the only one to bear the title, see Samuel 7:13-14, Chronicles 22:10, Matthew 5:9, Job 1:6 and so on. Then we also have the opposite title, the sons of Belial which were wicked people etc, Judges 19:22. Ancient greeks took this concept and applied it to levels of extreme mental sophistry typical of their pagan "philosophies" which would define the theological battles for trinitarian orthodoxy at the first 2 synods... all because they couldnt properly understand such a simple idea found previously within the bible.

Catholicism or nothing. If you're not ethnically Orthodox, stay out. If you were raised Catholic or have Catholic ancestors, return to the faith. The villainous men who serve the Church are not the Church. Don't get it twisted. Don't abandon her.

Yeah, the shelf of Cappadocian Fathers pic above. Apostolic Fathers too. If they need the basics of a primer, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is good considering it was printed in 1993 three decades after Vatican II but some traditionalists say it contains errors.

Read papal encyclicals to understand how modernism has crept into the Church. I'm not a sedevacantist and you shouldn't be one either. But you can safely ignore Francis' cult of Laudato Si and all his Pachamama/Mother Earth movement. He is not teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Couldn't it be interpreted allegorically, or as a command only to His apostles? And where does He say to eat wafers imbibed with wine in a church after a liturgy, rather than a meal of bread and wine?

Can any of you anons help me to make a decision, or at least take a step towards one?
For years now, it seems as if the color has been draining out of my life. I can't concentrate on anything as long as I used to, and what I do concentrate on feels dull and drab where it used to excite and stimulate. I can distract myself for a time, with escapism, or by throwing myself into work, but the feeling always comes back eventually, and I find myself seeming to watch my life like a movie rather than participate in it, and the things that occupied me until just a second ago seem to matter as much as the things that happen to an actor in a movie. There doesn't seem to be anything satisfying or fulfilling in life.
I grew up in a Mormon household, and remember various moments of worship where this world seemed to touch another one beneath or alongside it, one that was more real than this one. I treasured these moments and took them as proofs of the faith I was born into, but over time have begun to doubt the truth as I was taught it - to me, the LDS faith seems to be some sort of anti-Gnosticism and its practitioners do not worship God at all, but some sort of powerful yet contingent being - and I've come to more or less accept the Nicene creed, and that one of the big denominations, Catholicism or Orthodoxy, is most likely the true Church. But I've hit a wall there. The issues between the two at times seem an impassable gulf, and at others very trifling things soon to be overcome, and at other times I've felt like it doesn't particularly matter which I choose as long as I choose one and commit to it, with the end result that I feel sort of paralyzed, and can't bring myself to so much as send an email to one local priest or another for fear of committing by doing so. There's also another fear, that I'll end up pursuing something like what I am trying to leave, an ultimately empty faith with good intentions but which misses the mark. Everything I've read and felt says otherwise, but I'm afraid regardless, and that contributes to my paralysis. The bent towards mysticism in Orthodoxy makes me more inclined to that side of the house, but only just.
Lastly, I have the same problems that most 20-something men in my situation have - excess Internet usage as a kid led to me growing up into a single porn addict who's never so much as held hands, and of course here I am looking for the most "based" and "redpilled" and "trad" denomination out there in the hopes that it will somehow fix me. I at least hope that unlike many who seek to convert I'm doing so because I genuinely want the truth, but it's difficult to evaluate that kind of thing objectively.
I think if I keep considering it from different angles and reading stacks of theology and the like I'll never be able to take another step forward and commit to a new faith the way I would like to. Joseph Smith prayed on which faith to join and received an answer within the hour, but I don't think I have that luxury.

I'm Catholic and I've found myself thinking about the fact that even though it's a core part of my identity I have very little rationale for specifically believing and defending Catholicism as opposed to, say, Orthodoxy. Other than that it's how I was raised and it is the traditional faith of where I'm from. I'm scared that I see Catholicism not as something that needs to be intellectually defended (that's the easy part) or devoutly practiced (a harder part I attempt to the best of my ability). But as something I care about not because I'm trying to actually follow Christ but because I'm trying to prevent sociological entropy from destroying in my society.

I have very little in common with tradlarp converts and not even any real affinity for reactionary politics save for when they become the only possible alternative against antitheism.

Repent and return to God. Christ is calling you. I'm not advocating for a specific branch, but definitely turn back to Christ. He loves you so much

This is no different from affluent white women doing Hindu meditation and yoga to "find themselves."

doesn't orthodox church teach works based salvation? watch this gospel video if you want to be 100% sure of going to heaven. going to church, your good works, or water baptism won't save you from going to hell for your sins. the biblical gospel gives you 100% assurance of your salvation anons

I checked out a bunch of Orthodox "priest" social medias and every single one of them posted quote after quote from "saint" after "saint", not one single quote from Jesus.

Yeah, deference to intellectual authorities is a common problem among any priestly class. Bishop Barron, probably the most mass-media bishop in the USA, quotes Rahner and de Lubac and other heretics, trying to seem erudite talking intelligently about "new theology." Jewish Rabbis quote famous rabbinical decisions of the past. Muslims, like Jews, quote their own lawgivers and teachers. But at least they aren't this guy:

He NEVER talks about Jesus. It's always some reddit shit, or party politics, or his gayass selfies. Homosexuals need to be banned from the Catholic Church.
