Girl I came close to hooking up with in high school got knocked up a few months ago.

He's a kike.
No, seriously. His parents were Jews and he was born in Pittsburgh. That's all I got.
I found a letter from ROCOR denouncing him and asking him to repent.

I see this guy come up on /pol/ from time to time. Does anyone here know anything about this guy? He's clearly not an actual monk. I think the dude is crazy.

I know many or most people on this board are critical of the mass influx of refugees in Europe, but as far as I know we're not all heartless. I am in favor of taking in refugees, but considering the security threats, my support is on the condition of an effective screening process, and with women and children given priority.
Guys?

I'm having a difficult time justifying my attendance at any church lately. I just can't seem to really jive with the idea of a communal service... Our relationship with God is intrinsically individualistic. Why do some feel the need to surround themselves with other believers? I'm not really down with that, especially considering I rarely agree with other Christians, even in a theological context.
There is a scriptural argument for church and organized worship, but I don't know it off the top of my head, and I'm also of the opinion that our personal relationship with Him is more important than our relationship with Christendom. I, personally, find I get a lot out of the liturgies and vesperal services, and I'm inexperienced enough in theology that I really appreciate being able to check in with my local priest, but worship comes first.

I also respect the Orthodox Church's claims to legitimacy, although I am more skeptical about it than most converts probably are. I am also very supportive of the use of tradition (big T and small t tradition) as a guide when interpreting and practicing Christianity.
This is actually the reason I didn't convert to Orthodoxy. Their claim that they're the historical True Church is indefensible,
Are you referring to continuity with pre-Constantine Christianity? If that's the case, I don't really disagree. I do consider Orthodox to be "right" in the context of the Great schism, but the split between OO and EO was bullshit and a disastrous misunderstanding as far as I can tell. If that's not what you mean, could you elaborate? I've actually stopped going to church since I've moved to the South, because it's either fire-and-brimstone Baptists or barely-Christian non-denominational rock bands and motivational speaking.
That's unfortunate. Best of luck finding a better church in the future.

For christians with a more nuanced understanding of their religious texts, it's interesting, and raises some questions, but isn't a huge deal.
What kind of questions?
How does this tie into our theology, if at all? Did God perhaps have some plan for us to encounter this life one day, or is their path independent from ours? Should we be interfering with them. More importantly, if we encounter intelligent life, we would have to ask very challenging questions- did Christ just save mankind, or did he save all intelligent life? Does sin affect these extraterrestrials as it affects us?

The reformation, renaissance, enlightenment etc DID NOT MAKE CHRISTIANITY ANY MORE OR LESS INHERENTLY VIOLENT THAN IT WAS BEFORE. CHRISTIANITY ESTABLISHES A GENUINELY PEACEFUL WORLDVIEW THAT WAS LATER ADAPTED FOR VIOLENCE AND WARFARE BY THE RULING ELITE. ALMOST ALL OF THE EARLY SAINTS WERE PACIFIST MARTYRS AND THEOLOGIANS.
I'd be interested to know if you have any historical evidence for this position? Not so much the early saints being pacifists, but the co-option of Christianity as a justification for warfare by the ruling elite.
Just War theology has a long history, but it really comes down to becoming a component of run-of-the-mill political violence. "See, these people don't even worship the right way, they're totally okay to kill". A good example is the massacre of the latins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_the_LatinsThe primary motivation was not to cleanse constantinople of those dirty fucking papists, but the religious differences were used as a motivating tool, among others. You can see this going further back, though. Arianism was one of the first mass persecuted heresies the early church faced, and it was no coincidence that many of the enemies of the Roman Empire, were barbarian Christian tribes like the Vandals practicing some form of arianism. Looking into the Vandal political situation reveals a lot- relations with their trinitarian subjects were good when relations with Rome were good, and bad when relations with Rome were bad. Likewise, one can see political ties to many of the the Reformation wars. We're all aware of Henry VIII's motivations for splitting from the Catholic church. In the HRE, the princes that took Luther's side early on in the conflicts were not shy about confiscating those sweet sweet Catholic church assets. Something similar happened in England- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_MonasteriesThis was largely economically motivated. I don't mean to say that the Protestant reformation was all political, or that the Vandals were only Arian in reaction to Roman trinitarianism, but much of the conflict historically associated with Christianity is political in nature. Not all of it, of course, there have always been and will always be zealots who take things too far, but I feel confident in saying that most of it was about more than theology.

I read that the Belgian attackers were Belgian nationals
In the same sense that Jihadi John was a UK national. Which is to say, in a legal sense only.

If we do find life on that moon how are religious people going to handle that? I know the people would get rewritten to have a passage about god creating life in places outside the Earth.
For strict biblical literalist fundies? Devastating. For christians with a more nuanced understanding of their religious texts, it's interesting, and raises some questions, but isn't a huge deal.

Christianity wasn't and still isn't peaceful at all. The teachings of my particular sect, at least, are. Innovations pushed by governments and monarchs aren't a part of it. It's fucking poison and needs to be removed from the world just like Islam. Fuck you. Fuck your religion. Fuck your saints and fuck everybody who died for Christianity.
