To everyone who has considered swimming the Bosphorus:

May you drown in the attempt instead of succeeding and losing your soul.

For other traditions, it may very well be different, but, for the Lutherans, I remind you of your Confirmation Oath:

Do you intend to continue steadfast in this Confession and Church and to suffer all, even death, rather than fall away from it?

I do, by the grace of God.

There was a time in the history of our people, when oathbreaker — Eidbrecher — was amongst the worst of the accusations that could be levelled against a man. A word and a charge so vile that the former was almost unspeakable and the latter was just cause for violence.

May we soon return to such an upright society.

God: *authors a book detailing precisely what the true religion is and is not*

EO centuries later: ‘No, you can’t possibly understand the truth until you read St. Scraglebeard of the Pungent Cave and stare at your navel for five thousand hours while humming to yourself.’

EO: ‘Also, soap is haram.’

Dreadlock beard is disqualifying on aesthetics (and hygiene) alone.

Also, he started a ‘monastery’ with a known pedophile, yet the EO still highly praise and recommend him.

The Eastern ‘Orthodox’, quite simply, are not Christian.

There are Christians who claim to be EO, but do not know what their ‘church’ teaches, and so they may yet be saved by that felicitous inconsistency, but anyone who understands what the East actually teaches and does not flee from it is damned.

This frees our hands when dealing with them.

I will agree to disagree with the Reformed, while still believing that we can work together. I categorically do not believe we can work together with the EO, as they have set themselves up as a subversive fifth column in the West and every day they prove that they are enemies.

Eastern religion: ‘Clear your mind (so demons can enter).’

Eastern ‘Orthodoxy’: ‘Clear your mind (so demons can enter).’

If someone claimed you had to read a dozen books by ‘experts’ on Michael Crichton before you could possibly read and understand Jurassic Park, you would call that man an idiot (at best).

Why do you listen to those who claim similar things with regard to God’s Word?

The deportation of aliens from American soil will include those who have adopted alien religions — e.g., Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Eastern ‘Orthodoxy’.

The EO ridicule Luther for marrying a nun (after having been released from his monastic vows), yet constantly praise a sodomite (‘Seraphim Rose’) who opened a monastery with a known pedophile.

It does not take a genius to figure out what is going on there.

This needs to be the response any time anything EO rears its ugly and wicked head:

‘Do you condemn Eugene Dennis (‘Seraphim’) Rose and his sodomite partner Gleb Dmitriyevich Podmoshensky?’

If they won’t condemn a sodomite and a known pedophile, then there’s nothing further to discuss.

If any Christian tradition were handed definitive proof that one of their beloved writers was a sodomite who consorted with impenitent pedophiles and lured young men out into the woods, every man in that tradition would condemn that writer.

The EO defend Seraphim Rose more staunchly than they defend Christ.

Five minutes of dealing with the EO makes five centuries of arguing with the Reformed seem like a Sunday brunch.
