Obsessed
I consider myself personally Orthodox by my way of belief, but I do attend a Protestant church with my family (who are all also Protestant) because there is no Orthodox parish in our area.
I was thinking due to you being a local In Missouri you be a follower of the Protestant faith. Which, In a way you are. But you as a person believe in a different form of Christianity then your family and community. But due to the only churches and people in your area you sort of have to be a Protestant in worship. Also, Why do you consider yourself to be orthodox personally? What made you do that?
To try and describe it in brevity, I found myself at odds with many of the beliefs of both Baptist thought and Protestantism at large (the lack of a church structure and church tradition to interpret the scriptures, for example, was what originally pushed me towards reflecting deeply on my beliefs regarding the church, for it seemed strange that the early church founded by the Apostles simply faded away into such a disorganized concept of an "invisible church" at some unknown date for whatever reason, only to be brought back into full swing a millennia-and-a-half later), and, after reading quite a bit online about the structure of Orthodoxy, its history, and from textual works of the church fathers like Saint Justin Martyr and Saint John Chrysostom, ultimately I felt, with a passion in my heart that I can only believe came to me during that process of study by the blessing of the Holy Spirit, that Orthodoxy was the truth, and that the Eastern Orthodox Church was the truthful continuation of Christ's congregation.
That must be hard
Yeah, That is why a lot of people are becoming orthodox lol. I also must say myself that I for one like Orthodoxy for many reasons including the structure and belief system of it. Especially the monks. I love the monk way of life.

We’re past our old days of our former glory
Shouldn’t you be glad there are Christ cucks here?
What makes you think that?
Because you are one?
Finally, I have met a Shia Muslim on the internet at once! Also, I am wondering this too.
My first assumption, just based off of my own judgment of his past statements, is that it could have been influenced by a political reasoning of “I see them fighting the Jews more than the Sunnis, therefore they are more righteous.” After all, he is of the “race over religion” sort, so it’d make sense that he’d, at least in part, base his conversion to a specific branch of Islam off of their populational majority’s political allegiances (i.e the Saudis and the GCC are quite often bending their knees to the State of Israel while Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran are persisting in resistance to the state’s existence).
It is quite funny to see chuds regard Sunnis as an actual threat to anything while Sunnis themselves have only Afghanistan and Hamas to be proud of among dozens of Islamic countries.
Because it's the real deal. The Ahlul Bayt and the Imams are the true successors of the Prophet Muhammad. And
is true to some extent.
