Every Anglo I've met who converted to Eastern Orthodoxy was absolutely a Deus Vult racist against Muslims and tried to hide it behind Byzantine aesthetics. Adult converts to monotheisms are usually reactionary nuts, but this kind has a little extra flair

As far as I’m concerned, no one ‘finds god’ from a genuine cultural or spiritual standpoint but only does so as a means of getting the best deal possible.

What’s so macho about wanting a life where you’re treated like a princess solely for what’s between your legs? Absolute bourgeois decadence.

converting to any religion other than islam as an adult is extremely sus

converting to any religion ~~other than islam~~ as an adult is extremely sus

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

i mean yeah i agree, all religions are cringe. but islam has a million times more juice than any other religion, so if you're gonna convert it's the least sus option

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

islam has a million times more juice than any other religion

That's not a positive trait.

That's all the criteria anyone converting to any religion today has for doing so, notwithstanding the fact that its genuinely the worst reason for it. Juice = greed, hedonism & predation

The Abrahamic religions have all been co-opted by the bourgeois capitalist empires for centuries, & are mostly just secret societies for people who are so insufferably petty that they could have their lives ruined if you found out one of them gave a great blowjob.

I think one should just lock themselves in a cage in the basement instead of conversion

If you went to Russia or Greece and told an Orthodox man that eating soup is feminine he would probably beat the crap out of you and then go back to eating his delicious soup

I WAS RIGHT

I knew someone who claimed to be nb & were also orthodox. Then I found out she was baiting queer women & doxxing them regularly. Why she tried anything on an AMAB idk but she got mad that I figured her out.

Every white colonialist here that isn't a descendant from the Russian colonials that came here back in the late 18th century, or in other words every white American, that I know is an Orthodox convert is and always has been an absolutely rabid theocratic fascist Trump loving gun fucking crank

If this causes a 30 years war in the US, but this time a Orthodox vs. Catholic vs. Protestant battle royale, I'm all for this.

We owe reddit atheists an apology.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 5 days ago

A lot of the fascists joining were reddit atheists, and are only now religious because their fash content creators told them to be because it's "based" and anti-leftist

Darkmatter2525 is still kind of cool, he remounced his former “anti-woke” phase and is somewhat level headed.

But I would nut for an atheism renaissance hopefully with the hogs just flocking to religion already. Just makes them easier to debunk when they flat out admit they only believe what they do for special treatment. Besides, we are materialists so our ideas are conceived from material reality.

I'm pulling for people to go anti-imperial/anti-US with the same level of smugness as they watch the empire continue to crumble. "Sorry, I believe in science, and capitalism induces contradictions that lead to its own collapse. USians owned".

I think I saw a tweet of his where he supported Pissrael.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

FWIW, one of his more recent videos denounced Israel which made my day.

Awful lot of frocks for a “Masculine” church, just sayin’

[-] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

The masculine urge to swing free beneath your cassock

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

The masculine urge to wear embroidered gowns, light incense, and sing with the fellas

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

greasing up your bros and masculinely slapping them with branches in a steamy room without any clothes on, for the lord our christ jesus who also looks pretty cut on the cross and stuff which I bring up for no reason

Veggies? Gay. Fruit? Gay. Soup? GAY.

Men can only eat PIG SLOP and that's IT.

Literally one of the best parts of going to Orthodox mass was the lunch they served afterwards, with generous helpings of borscht and solyanka. I genuinely cannot believe anyone would say that consuming these amazing dishes is 'feminine'. Complete toss.

(Something Catholics should take note on rather than trying to cram as many masses into three days as possible)

We need something like this for communism. The young men in the west are disillusioned but majority find themselves rabbit holed into far right or religious groups.

I hereby instantiate the Young Men's Communism Association

Another Christian church not understanding the teaching of the Christ like 99% of them

Christianity but it's just for the fellas

Religion is the opium of the masses.
