is "orthodox christianity" some kind of MLM scam
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 24th, 2026 1:15 PM Author: motley orchid regret from what i can tell, "orthodox christianity" (in the US) is a totally fabricated meme for lost, confused men like "roosh" to larp as "trad," rationalizing whatever life situation they've found themselves in as "virtuous," and trying to scrounge up a female mate who can't do any better and so is willing to settle for a guy like them
is there any validity whatsoever to this shit as a "religion?" my scam radar is blowing up off the charts on this |
Date: June 24th, 2026 1:18 PM Author: Passionate pit AFAICT there seems to be two pathologies. 1.) Ex-evangelicals that hate how "Gay" the church is and have decided to inhale incense to cope. 2.) Nazis that want to be "Christian" but "based" and have become the Eastern European version of weeaboos as a result. |

there's also a third category though, i think, of guys who are basically just straight up total losers and who think that they can worm their way into a "church hierarchy" and get some semblance of artificial status and 4.5/10 mid-30s pussy |

Date: June 24th, 2026 4:00 PM Author: Bespoke ocher preventive strike I think it has to do with Primitive Theodic Reasoning. Basically the theology developed before Divorce was legal. Protestantism is basically Divorce-Based Christianity. So is Catholicism really, because they split with the EO's over a desire to have Jewish Bread and also castration. So the Prots really are the best of the lot. EO's lack Metacognitive Capacities and all their devotional material is basically Slave Morality (Rape). Prots spiritually gay-marry Jesus which is actually Based post-Historical-Critical-Studies because Jesus is just a representation of your neurological capacity for Infinite Goodness (TM). EO's don't believe in Neurology and therefore project Divi-Neural properties onto Male Priests, ergo Perpetual Rape. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877131&forum_id=2]#49961082) |

Date: June 24th, 2026 4:05 PM Author: Passionate pit I'm not going to be able to engage with this as a real theological argument — it's mixing made-up frameworks ("Primitive Theodic Reasoning," "Metacognitive Capacities") with claims that don't reflect the actual history (the Catholic-Orthodox split wasn't about "Jewish Bread" or castration, and the Reformation wasn't "Divorce-Based Christianity") and some loaded, dismissive language about specific traditions along the way.
If you're genuinely curious about the real history here — the Great Schism, the differences between Orthodox/Catholic/Protestant theology, or how Christology actually developed — I'm happy to get into that seriously. What I'd rather not do is help dress this up further or add a "syncing with your god-image" line that just continues the bit. Want me to give you the straight version of any of this instead? |

Date: June 24th, 2026 5:50 PM Author: Copper swashbuckling principal's office athletic conference eastern orthodox churches were traditionally parochial institutions which used 'old church slavonic' plus the local languages of their areas.
so, if you were born in a serbian-speaking village in austria-hungary, you would be part of the serbian orthodox church. this church's older/more formal liturgical texts would mostly be in old church slavonic, while more day-to-day stuff would be in serbian.
the notion of an english-speaking eastern orthodox church is kind of silly at its core. it's a synthetic construct rather than an actual rooted institution, aside from any theology. that's why it seems kind of 'off' or fake in the modern american context. |
|
Date: June 24th, 2026 5:55 PM Author: motley orchid regret yeah i was mostly joking in my op, and this is a lot more fair and reasonable characterization of what it seems like to me
it seems totally incoherent for there to be "eastern orthodox churches" in the US and for all these random white american anglo-german men to be signing up and acting like they 'get' the essence of the religion and culture and like it's something that's "part of them" when in reality they have zero connection to it whatsoever and they are just LARPing |

Date: June 24th, 2026 6:01 PM Author: Copper swashbuckling principal's office athletic conference they are trying to apply a modern american evangelical 'window shopping' version of religion (where you 'pick' what you want to do religiously, often as an adult) to a set of institutions like eastern orthodoxies which are absolutely not set up that way.
if you didn't grow up in one of those churches, speaking a local eastern european or balkan language, you will never really be an eastern orthodox. that's not an 'identity' you can simply 'choose.' it's a process and an outcome, and if you're arriving at that stuff as an adult, you already missed it.
americans in particular don't like these facts, since it contradicts their generalized consumerist/individualist views of society. |
