BAIT. All Orthodox and Protestant institutions are man-made and corrupted by pagan practices. You self-righteous Orthocucks actually believe that preserving pagan practices for millennia makes you any better than Protestants in God's eyes. You are a bunch of delusional larpers.
>Christianity is le pacifistic
True Orthodoxy has nothing in common with moralizing, humanism, pacifism, lukewarmness, tolerance and other Masonic “virtues”.
Unfortunately, many people today perceive this great ancient religion as an old wives’ tale about a kind little god who, sitting on a cloud in the sky and waving his legs, teaches everyone one continuous “kindness” and “forgiveness.”
True strong-willed Christianity readily allows the use of force against enemies and heretics. Sometimes even members of the clergy, including the highest, did not disdain it. Thus, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, so revered by Orthodox Christians, did not consider it shameful to strike down the heretic Arius, who blasphemed the Son of God.
Another pillar of Orthodoxy, St. John Chrysostom, directly commands that blasphemers be beaten. “If you,” he addressed a true Christian, “hear any one in the public thoroughfare, or in the midst of the forum, blaspheming God; go up to him and rebuke him; and should it be necessary to inflict blows, spare not to do so. Smite him on the face; strike his mouth; sanctify thy hand with the blow, and if any should accuse you, and drag you to the place of justice, follow them there; and when the judge on the bench calls you to account, say boldly that the man blasphemed the King of Angels! For if it be necessary to punish those who blaspheme an earthly king, much more so those who insult God. It is a common crime, a public injury; and it is lawful for every one who is willing, to bring forward an accusation. Let the Jews and Greeks learn, that the Christians are the saviours of the city; that they are its guardians, its patrons, and its teachers."
Not every use of force is violence, but only that which is based on personal arbitrariness. If force is used to defend God's work, then such use is justified and sanctified by the Church. At times, humble servants of the Lord, without a moment's hesitation, took up arms and beat the enemies of the Faith and their native land. Similarly, during the period of unrest of 1905-1907. The monks of the Pochaev Lavra created a special armed squad of the Union of the Russian People, which shot the revolutionary monsters throughout the surrounding areas. Of course, canonical rules prohibit the use of weapons by clergy, however, there are special cases when the use of force is necessary.
In principle, all true Christianity (as it was brought to us by the Holy Fathers) is simply permeated with the military spirit. God-realization itself (union with God) is presented here as a battle - with its vices and demonic intrigues. Asceticism is very similar to military labor. Both the warrior and the ascetic alike withdraw from the world into the environment of an isolated brotherhood; both are distinguished from others by a special, strict form; both suffer privations.
Even the terminology is similar. “A monk is like a warrior going into battle.” wrote St. Ephraim the Syrian. "Likewise, if a monk, in bringing himself into relaxation, becomes lazy, then he is easily caught by the enemy; because the enemy puts into him impure thoughts, which he accepts with joy." He also advised the monks: "When an evil thought comes upon you, draw out your sword, that is, raise up the fear of God in your hearts, and you will cut down all the power of the enemy. And instead of a military trumpet, use God's Scripture. As a trumpet gathers soldiers with its sound, so God's Scripture, calling to us, gathers good thoughts, and, having brought them into line with the fear of God, forms from them a regiment to oppose the enemy: for our thoughts, like soldiers, fight with the enemies of the King."
That is why it is offensive to watch how self-interested faggots are emasculating Christianity, etching out of it all its fighting, heroic spirit. At the same time, the voluntary or involuntary advocates of atheism/paganism/latinism/islam (you're all the same) do not ask themselves the question of how “passive” Eastern Orthodoxy managed to create the two greatest Christian Empires in the world – the Byzantine and Russian?
Some of today's "Christians" call for not being too sad about the triumph of the forces of evil - after all, after our earthly defeat, the Kingdom of Heaven will soon come. Everything is alright, but the question is - will those who did not want to actively oppose the coming of the Antichrist enter this Kingdom? The question arises: how long will the ignoring of the orderly, volitional dimension of Christianity continue? Yes, Christianity cannot be reduced to only volitional efforts, but is a weak-willed Christianity really Christianity?
Orthodoxy cannot be considered a variety of Masonic humanism; on the contrary, it is hostile to it in everything. We have yet to fully comprehend the heroic character of the Christian faith. We must take Christianity away from the weaklings and the Pharisees. Because this is our religion of the Orthodox warriors of Christ.

Sure, if you accept that Orthodoxy’s man-made traditions are heavily influenced by paganism.

America and Europe were doing just fine and they weren’t of the Orthodox faith. Something else is responsible for allowing things like this to happen:

No, I no longer go by any man-made religious titles or labels. I go only by my name or username—no more 'Christian,' no more 'Nazarene,' no more 'Protestant,' no more 'Seventh-day Adventist.' Fuck all that bullshit.
No, Europe and the United States were, and still are, under Catholicism and Freemasonry.

You still support monarchism after what it did to the Orthodox institution in those two empires. Caesaropapism and Papocaesarism are no different. You Catholic wannabe. You are all the same.
