You get it. You fucking get it dude. I wish I could give you more than one upvote. Orthodox Christianity seems to be the only true anti-jew there is. Catholicism leads to atheism and Protestantism didn't fix the problem. I went to a protestant bible college and now I'm relearning Christianity through an Orthodox lens (after studying European paganism), gotta say, Orthodox is strong.

It really is like a different religion isn't it? All of my conceptions about Christianity were flipped on their head the more I got into Orthodoxy and then it just made perfect sense. I really think it could make a lot of headway in the US if more people understood what it actually is.
Of course we all have our different talents and interests but if you happen to be a fan of philosophy you should check out Jay Dyer. Another great speaker is hank hanegraaff. Found them both recently-ish.

I follow jay dyer like a horny schoolgirl. I'll definitely check out hank.
I have legitimately given paganism a chance "for our folk" but I think orthodoxy teaches a more complete view of God. I'll teach my children both but it's pretty obvious is honest comparison which of the two has more sound theology and potential for a stable civilization.
I don't know how Orthodox is, but one thing that always bothered me in protestant churches is the anti-creativity attitude. They don't allow mastery of the arts, they discourage "complex" music as it "distracts from the glory of God". I'm a musician. A good one. This is one reason I don't go to church anymore. At least jay loves the arts and brings a good name to it.
