[Russkie]

“The truly intelligent man pursues one sole objective: to obey and to conform to the God of all. With this single aim in view, he disciplines his soul, and whatever he may encounter in the course of his life, he gives thanks to God for the compass and depth of His providential ordering of all things. For it is absurd to be grateful to doctors who give us bitter and unpleasant medicines to cure our bodies, and yet to be ungrateful to God for what appears to us to be harsh, not grasping that all we encounter is for our benefit and in accordance with His providence. For knowledge of God and faith in Him is the salvation and perfection of the soul.”

- St. Anthony the Great, “On the Character of Men and on the Virtuous Life: One Hundred and Seventy Texts,” Text 2, The Philokalia: The Complete Text (Vol. 1)

“Men are often called intelligent wrongly. Intelligent men are not those who are erudite in the sayings and books of the wise men of old, but those who have an intelligent soul and can discriminate between good and evil. They avoid what is sinful and harms the soul; and with deep gratitude to God they resolutely adhere by dint of practice to what is good and benefits the soul. These men alone should truly be called intelligent.”

- St. Anthony the Great, “On the Character of Men and on the Virtuous Life: One Hundred and Seventy Texts,” Text 1, The Philokalia: The Complete Text (Vol. 1) (251-356 AD)

[The Immortal Goon]

So why would an intelligent man join the modern day Sodomites and join a church that God has cast mercilessly out of any kind of power it has ever had? Led by a clergy that actually revels in the fact that its cities were destroyed for their wickedness just like Sodom was?

[Decky]

Are all Orthodox believers sodomites or does it just seem like that because it is the vast majority?

[Cartertonian]

Those that aren't sodomites are onanists in any case.

[Decky]

Well everyone needs a hobby.

[Dystopian Darkness]

Is this a parody topic?

[Godstud]

Sodomites rule.
Nuff said.

[Iron Ant]

Nice use of weasel words to inflame and manipulate people.
