@Hesycrashed People don't extend the metaphor far enough: hospitals have a goon squad to handle unruly patients.

I don't ever want to hear "but the church is a hoooooospital!" used in defense of allowing sick patients to mutilate other sick patients and to shut down any objection, ever again. Get a grip or get out of my face, you sound like an absolutely sociopathic enabler

@Loganvl96 @DJ__Bolger I'm insulting you in the official language of your country that isn't English, this is comical but not stupid. You have bad opinions and don't realize you're a stereotype, I suggest you be different.

@AleksandrHC @DJ__Bolger Point immediately proven

DEBATE: Do Freemasons take blood oaths? If so, is it then wrong for Christians to become Freemasons? James 5:12 "Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple 'Yes' or 'No.' Otherwise you will be condemned." 33rd Degree Freemason: I've not interpreted that verse as being anti-oath; it is anti-frivolous/malicious/misleading oaths. Jay Dyer (@JayDyer): The blood oaths that are required for Masonry might be problematic. Chase Geiser (@realchasegeiser): When I hear blood oath, I think of somebody actually cutting their hand open, and there is actually blood involved in the oath. Jay Dyer: Don't you take an oath to have your throat slit should blah blah blah happen? 33rd Degree Freemason: There is penalties in these obligations. We won't discuss the specifics of those obligations. You can laugh at that. You can go find them online if you want. 33rd Degree Freemason: If you believe that those are literal oaths... is that your claim? Jay Dyer: I know there have been cases like the William Morgan Affair where it was not interpreted as purely symbolic.

@Loganvl96 @DJ__Bolger Une putain de feuille

@DJ__Bolger The American Christian is comically stupid

@Opethism @abrasivedoc @PatBlanchfield @GayHole Being anti-Islam is the only thing I like about Dawkins.

@abrasivedoc @PatBlanchfield @GayHole for the zillionth time, the vast majority of STEM graduates have hobbies, and these include—GASP—artistic/“humanities” endeavours. Dawkins's claim to fame is being a smug pretentious virulent islamophobe. Him being an imaginationless turd has nothing to do with STEM.

@Scribe_Light @BenjaminABoyce Just saw it this year and I already want to rewatch it. It makes every other crime show look cartoonish.

@BenjaminABoyce Everyone knows that 'Mr. Inbetween' is the best of television.

Every breaking bad fanboi, ever:

@a_farmboy The critique is unreasonable because the arguments are not sound. I doubt he meant "orthobroism" as a purely technical term, and thus is not being polite either, but that's speculation. You're not being polite. That's not speculation, and this isn't a discussion to be ruined.

🚨BREAKING:🚨 Online EO slopologist responds to a reasonable and polite critique with insults and continues to do so when politely addressed. Is there any discussion they can’t ruin?

@satsyd_finsun I would also like to see this video.

@fleshsimulator Why are you arguing morality with people who don't believe in moral absolutes? Disengage or crush them, words are useless.

You fucking faggots love to play the definitions game where doxxing can either mean "A guy posted a picture of me from my public instagram" or "posting the addresses and phone numbers of every single person in your family and then making accounts impersonating them saying racial slurs to send to their employer"

@Hesycrashed I used to have this dream all the time. It was this one, back in school didn't study for exam, falling, and loose teeth on repeat. I think my apartment had mold.

lost in the big fancy house, so I went nuts on them and stole a truck, drove two blocks and started crying lol gm

Dreamt I had to claw my way through a jungle avoiding warlords and poison animalsfor years to obtain an exotic tea, then later I was at a party full of matushki and was bringing tea to some elderly ones, the very same kind of tea, and some young ones made fun of me for getting

@Hesycrashed Grudgerigars

@KalebAtlanta The only parishes I've been to that aren't absolutely exploding are running this playbook.

@John_markos_ I knew Met. Saba was hard as nails when he visited our parish. The young deacon he was traveling with made a slight mistake in the liturgy and His Eminence shot him a stern look SO fast. Just that brief moment made me know he's all business.

The Saba posting WILL continue

@MrWHOsecond2 Are you aware of all the churches & monasteries the Ukraine government has closed? There are no good guys in this war, and no one is immune to propaganda.

@Hesycrashed Looking forward to your version of The House of the Dead

@DracoReformans You think God creates people predestined for eternal torment, don't try to bring this kumbaya polemic.

For those of you considering Orthodoxy Just realize that once a year you will have to curse and anathematize all of your Protestant or Catholic relatives, friends, and neighbors… simply for disagreeing with the EO teaching. The document is called the synodikon. Look it up

@OSedlar @fleshsimulator And for the record I'm not even Russian, but there are rules about how the Orthodox Church operates. It doesn't matter how compromised Moscow is: the solution here isn't schism, it's that eventually these people will die and the Church will go on as always.

@AleksandrHC @fleshsimulator I dont have problem with your church. Its just infested with intelligence agency assets. Notice how you are incapable of refuting anything I said.

Flesh Simulator's Geopolitical Positions: Eastern Europe edition -------------------------------- Russian People are generally good. Ukrainian people are generally good. The Russian government is very bad. The Ukrainian government is only slightly better, but they are our ally and I support our allies because I support my country wholeheartedly. Russia should not have invaded Ukraine, full stop. Ukraine should have allowed the border territories a referendum about nationality prior to invasion. Ukrainian identity is important to maintain. If the EU wanted to rely on ukrainian grain they should have allowed ukraine into the EU from 1992 onwards. We betrayed Ukraine by forcing their nuclear disarmament and not immediately coming to their aid the way we would have for lsraeI. Hot world war three relies upon russophobia.

@OSedlar @fleshsimulator I can't fit a lesson on ecclesiology in here; but the refutation is "just start a new church" isn't how any of this works and your ignorance is apparent. Have some humility, read up on this. Some key terms for your study: apostolic succession, synod, autocephalous. God bless.

@OSedlar @fleshsimulator It's not cope to notice you don't understand our ecclesiology. That's fine, you can always learn. Christ is risen.

@AleksandrHC @fleshsimulator Nice cope.

@OSedlar @fleshsimulator You are not Orthodox or even any sort of Christian, are you? You are spiritually Hindu, telling me about how my culture works.

@AleksandrHC @fleshsimulator No, starting a new church because the old one is basically an arm of the FSB/GRU is pretty legitimate.

@OSedlar @fleshsimulator The Ukraine government starting their own sect and claiming it's the legitimate one is exactly what the Bolsheviks did. That was eventually resolved, as will this.

@AleksandrHC @fleshsimulator You mean the Russian Orthodox church.
