Happy Easter. He is risen!

Protestant apologists are scrambling to deboonk Orthodoxy and it keeps backfiring! LIVE tomorrow night at 9pm EST with Cleave to Antiquity ⬇️

@Talonthepapist @strivetobekind @BeatusLeibowitz Yes the Church cannot err.

@ElijahFassy @strivetobekind @BeatusLeibowitz You sure about that?

What is happening in the Orthodox Church?

@goudakunst @zacobson Matt would have a field day on 3 and short

@zacobson He’s cooking tbh love is mid

@strivetobekind @BeatusLeibowitz @Talonthepapist Wrong the Church has never done anything bad once ever

@ElijahFassy @BeatusLeibowitz @Talonthepapist I don’t like scandal posting, but with respect we don’t really need to do that. EO scandals exist, but a lot are simply buried in foreign media.

@BeatusLeibowitz @Talonthepapist Those are protestants. So nice to see latins once again having to resort to misinformation to discredit Christ's Catholic Church x.com/strivetobekind…

@Talonthepapist So sad what the Orthodox are learning from the Protestants

@Talonthepapist They’re called the Evangelical-Baptist Church of Georgia (I.e. the country not the US state).

@LargoElemento @4Gage_ That's unusual to me, is this a ROCOR thing?

@ElijahFassy @4Gage_ Every year!

Who let them do this? It's embarrassing to see. I mean, they're a whole week early. How do you make such a mistake?

@ruallsion There are 10 Mossad agents dedicated to preventing you from having this.

What’s the line? Something about Netanyahu personally stopping me from having this?

@VaclavzAmeriky I do not tell my friends about Orthodox fasting unless they ask. One year two of my Catholic friends were talking about what they gave up for lent and one of them jokingly said "you should become vegan for lent". To which the other responded "no way I could ever do that".

Western heterodox “fast” I guess.

@goudakunst 80% of people aren't intelligent enough to vote. I think it should be that only people with full time jobs should be able to vote.

They’re allowed to vote

@YoungPenitent cope respecter?

There are still zero people on my block list. There is one person who I have muted though. Can you guess who it is?

@LargoElemento @4Gage_ You start the fast on a Wednesday?

@4Gage_ Every year!

@FeelsGuy2003 You guys hate this man so much, I see you trash him more than Nestorius and Arius combined

Spewed up his bowels award 🏅

@ryan_s_harv @FeelsGuy2003 He’s a Thomist, he has to be if he wants to get more indulgences

@TinaAzureM @Clint_Davey1 What if you reason that you should believe in horrible abominations?

@ElijahFassy @Clint_Davey1 The reason he tells mankind to follow reason is because any kind of believe can give birth to horrible abominations in the warp. If all of mankind believed in a vengeful god who turns babies into fruitloops every 10 years, it would literally become reality

The guys who made 40K were genius, but they were still Reddit-tier atheists and fumbled the "Imperial Truth" so hard. The Emperor is a living god doing battle with demons but he demands that humanity become atheist and follow "reason".

@Korrag4 @Clint_Davey1 What is reason then? What if I reason I should worship the evil gods?

@ElijahFassy @Clint_Davey1 The edict of Reason being the imperial truth was because there's four evil space gods roaming around that get stronger if you believe in anything too hard and rituals like religious service boost that too.

@Arthera_William @SandyofCthulhu Books play it better. Aragorn is eager to redeem the great men of his past, not ashamed of them.

@ElijahFassy @SandyofCthulhu He is not afraid at all. He believes his bloodline has failed and that he is not worthy. However trough the fellowship he starts to see that he is indeed worthy so.

I'm sure this will be controversial, but I believe that Lord of the Rings the book is inferior to Peter Jackson's movies. Tolkien has a tendency to make interesting things dull, and to leave the most interesting events off-screen, such as the Paths of the Dead. He includes scenes which stop the narrative dead in its tracks. To me, Tom Bombadil, Ghan-buri-Ghan, and the lengthy "let's all praise Galadriel" sections add nothing to the plot. His songs and poems are cringy as heck. I suppose if you were raised in Edwardian Britain poetry was seen as more manly. Tolkien also threw in some dumb deux ex machinas, such as when every single orc in Cirith Ungol kills every other orc. Or when Aragorn, all by himself, defeats 5 ringwraith at once. Petr Jackson gives us back the Paths of the Dead, and he adds humor and joy to the tale. His additions (Lurtz, the warg-riders) were solid. I admit he could have done nothing without Tolkien's great foundation. You are welcome to condemn me for my terrible taste. But I DID read Tolkien, and enjoyed it. I am fully aware that Tolkien has some extremely powerful episodes, such as Mines of Moria, the Dead Marsh, Shelob, and Denethor's fall. I can like Tolkien, yet not place him on some kind of super-high platform above James Branch Cavell, Charles Williams, C. S. Lewis, Lord Dunsany, and George MacDonald, who were more or less Tolkien's peers as early 20th century fantasy authors. Bring it. I invite you to prove me wrong. I'll even admit it if I feel your proofs are worthy enough. But you'll need more than a simple "Nuh-uh" or "Well Lovecraft sucked too."

@1989Theology @SandyofCthulhu Indian or liberal call it

@Arthera_William @SandyofCthulhu Not the point of Anduril at all. Making Aragorn a beta male who is afraid of being king is a terrible change imo

@SandyofCthulhu 1 thing i think is better in the movies than the books is when Aragorn got Andúril. In the books its basically given at him at the start at the journey and in the movies he got it when he started to accept that he has to be the king men need him to be.
