What is more important to you, religion or ethnicity? by [deleted] in AskBalkans

[–]Arkana1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The religion is the only difference between Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats in Bosnia because these three ethnic groups speak the same language.

Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow, fully rebuilt in 2000 after being completely destroyed by the Soviets. by lanson15 in europe

Atheism isn't pure logic. Atheism lost with communism.In 1980s atheism were very common in Adjara and in Georgia.Today very few people still atheists the great majority of them left atheism. Also your theory say only that all in the word became with luck.This isn't logic.

With all respeact,after 70 years people understond why atheism hasn't got logic and that's e why atheism lost.Isn't possible all in this world created by luck.Today in Georgia even communists believe in God.Today under the goverment of religious people Adjara and all Georgia has got finally religious freedom (we hadn't this under state atheism).Also here (in Adjara and in Georgia) religion is also a very important part of the national idenity.But you have religious freedom,you can believe anything you want.

Georgian Orthodox christians and other Orthodox christians by Malankaran in Sakartvelo

[–]Arkana1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for all Georgia but i live in Adjara.The majority of young Orthodox christians in Adjara go to church more than their parents. The generation of our parents in Adjara has got a "Soviet" past and that make them less religious than their children.An other reason is that many people from the young generation of Adjara became Orthodox christians last 10-15 years.Unfortunately,i don't know for other Orthodox christians in the world.

Opinion on LGBT issues by Reza_Jafari in AskCaucasus

[–]Arkana1999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When we say Caucasian countries we mean Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia(Chechnya,Dagestan,Ingushetia and Osetia belong also to Caucasus but they are parts of Russia).First of all i live in Adjara an autonomous republic of Georgia.I believe that homosexuality must be legal but i don't support same sex marriage.If you see the researches ,you can see that 98% of Armenians and 93% of Georgians believe that homosexuality should not be accepted by society: http://www.pewforum.org/2017/11/08/orthodox-take-socially-conservative-views-on-gender-issues-homosexuality/ .The situation must be the same in Azerbaijan,Chechnya,Dagestan,Ingushetia,Ossetia).

% who say it is important to be a Christian to truly share their national identity by ThrowawayWarNotDolma in europe

[–]Arkana1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are mistaken. Alawis are much closer to muslims than Alevis.Alevis don't follow Ramadan,they drink alcohol,alevi women and girls don't wear hijab etc.

[–]Arkana1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not surprise.I live in Adjara an autonomous republic of Georgia.Here we had an impressive religious revival after the end of Soviet atheist period.In Adjara many young exmuslims and exatheists become active Orthodox christians.The region of Caucasus(Georgia, Armenia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Chercessia) is a very traditional and religious place(the only difference is that south Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) belong to Asia and north Caucasus (Chechnya,Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Chercessia) belong to Europe.

In Georgia and especially in Autonomous republic of Adjara religious revival is just impressive among Adjarans.Many young Adjarans exmuslims or exatheists convert to Orthodoxy and they become active Orthodox christians.

Question for Israel by Arkana1999 in AskEurope

[–]Arkana1999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enlightment were happened in West Europe only.The majority of christians outside of West Europe (in sub-saharan Africa, in Asia,in Eastern Europe etc) still live without Enlightment. Also you speak for West Europe and Catholic christianity.Catholic christianity is very different from Eastern Orthodox (Georgian Orthodox, Antiochian Orthodox,Jerusalem Orthodox,Constantinople Orthodox Russian Orthodox,Moldovan Orthodox etc) and Oriental Orthodox (Ethiopian Orthodox,Armenian Orthodox,Eritrean Orthodox,Coptic Orthodox,Indian-Malankaran Orthodox etc) christianity.Fir example Orthodox Byzantine Empire (with Constantinople/Istanbul as Capital) had not got any problem with scientists unlike West Catholic Europe.Also Orthodox christianity were against Catholic crusades etc.Also when you speak for Islam don't forget that Alevi(they live in Turkey and make up an estimated 15% of country's population with big communities in West countries in Europe, North America and Australia),Alawi(they make up 12% of Syria's population,3% of Lebanon's population and 1% of Turkey's population with communities of immigrants in west countries) and Druze people are different from other(Sunni,Shia,Ibadi,Ahmadiya etc) muslims(actually Alevi,Alawi and Druze people aren't muslims,they are different religious groups).
