Naturalism/Secularism

Real Christianity is otherworldly and often insane as a result, the Orthodox refer to that as foolishness for Christ. Any society of pure respectability and sanity, can be Christian only in name.

most people don't believe in god here, the state just adds us into the church when we're born. people are just too lazy to leave or we don't leave on purpose so muslims won't get more cash to spend on their mosques.

but yeah, statistically, most people don't believe in god.

that is sooo 1800s.
that is the problem, they need to know "God".
Most are trapped in delusion.

we're doing well without god, better than we have for most of our history

>metaphors

i am norwegian, we dont get metaphors

Radical lifestyles were always an important element in Orthodoxy. Chrysostom ruined his health through fasting, John Attire lived on top of a tall pillar he built, never coming down, John of the Ladder species as KS with joy about monks who have their corpses ripped to shreds by beasts, Basil the Fool ran around in the snow wearing nothing but chains, etc.

Attire, I meant Stylite

>with a healthy Christian majority is best.
Why? o they can browbeat other people with their faith, use it to justify the bad things they do and whine that science or anything else that uses critical thinking isn't Biblical

you're still very much culturally christian

>you're still very much culturally christian
A few people that happend to come to this nation and believed in God does not automatically make the U.S. culturally Christian. Just like now, there were plenty of people in the past of this country that believed in other religions or didn't believe in God

So you mean the protestant lutheranism is best. The one where you go to heaven pretty much automatically.
