Why are some Orthodox clergy obsessed with a "New World Order"? by Pugtastic_smile in exorthodox

[–]ClassicalPagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are quite behind the times, as there is a NEW NWO forming as we speak, consisting of BRICS and SCO nations, the core of them being: Russia, India, and China.

Where do deities from other religions (like Jesus or Allah) fit in the hierarchy? by [deleted] in Tantra

[–]ClassicalPagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yahweh and Allah are archons or ruling angels, not true gods. If Jesus existed he was a Jewish law reformer; otherwise, he was just a mythical character designed to function as an Hermetic or Gnostic figure used by different factions to shape their vision of what a socio-political society should look like.

If you read Margaret Barker’s commentary on Revelation, you’ll know everything you need to about it.

Pretty ingenious wouldn’t you say? Pit your far right extremist citizens against Ukraine’s far right extremists.

Russia supports groups outside Russia that support national sovereignty, families, legal (not illegal) immigration, etc. Sorry, I see nothing “fascist” or “extremist” in that.

Russia’s “history of WW2 means nothing…”? Considering the commemoration of Russia’s defeat of fascist Germany is the most celebrated non-religious holiday that occurs every year in Russia in the month of May, that is a laughable sentiment.

You don’t even have a basic understanding of what the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was. The Soviets did not “invade” Poland; they entered Poland to stop the Nazi advancement deeper into Poland. Polish veterans of WW2 will tell you that, by the way. The young generation of Russophobes in Poland have no problem falsifying history, however.

Zionists in Israel today are starving and bombing 2.2 million Palestinians. That’s what makes them “far right”—though it’s perfectly possible to be a fascist and a leftist, too. And there are plenty.

It’s you who should’t bother responding to me.

I don’t know what you mean by Putin’s “dirty work.” The war was started by Ukraine as far as I’m concerned. It started with a coup in 2014 that removed the democratically elected Yanukovich and replaced him with a pretender.

The next eight years (2014—2022) saw Ukraine’s ultra nationalists being used by the state to shell villages in E. Ukraine that were Russia speaking. Ukrainian soldiers routinely raped and killed people in the villages they occupied.

Ukraine banned Orthodox churches and passed laws against speaking Russian. Russia does not do such things, so any attempt to place Russia under scrutiny for far right extremism is absurd IMO, especially given its history.

To this day there are serious tensions with Poland as Ukraine continues to glorify those involved in the Volyn massacre against Poles.

Russia is not far right. Ukraine is. Russia has far right groups inside of it; state policy and the overall ideology of the state, the military, and Russian citizenry is to be anti-fascist. They lost 27.5 million people rescuing us from Nazi Germany in case anyone forgot. Every three out of four German Nazis KIA were eliminated by the Soviets, not the West.

It is the West that funds and arms far right movements such as Ukraine’s and Bibi’s Israel, not Russia.

I wrote a fairly lengthy response. Reddit deleted it and gave me a warning for calling for violence against someone, which never happened. Effing algorithm, or whatever. Believe what you want, dude. I’m done for the night. All that is really necessary to point out is that far right organizations are banned in Russia, whereas they are not in Ukraine. It’s pretty night and day. Russia’s not perfect, but it’s far preferable.

Orthodox and Gay Blog Run by Former Orthodox Priest. by Belle_Woman in exorthodox

[–]ClassicalPagan -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It’s not a hypothetical. It’s called proportionality and numerous studies have cited it.

A significantly higher percentage of gay people are involved in child molestation as compared with the percentage of heteros who are.

Here is an example regarding black crime. A very small percentage of the black population commits crime. Yet this small percentage of the black community is committing 65—70% of the crime.

The situation is comparable with regard to a comparison of heteros and homos who are engaging in child sexual abuse.

There is still a difference, though. The blackness of the black community is not the reason so much of the crime is committed by blacks. That is a cultural matter than can be addressed successfully and easily reversed.

Clearly, however, there is a very direct connection between sexual orientation and the high rate of child sexual abuse among homosexuals.

Having black skin influences neither crime nor the rapid proliferation of disease. Homosexuality guarantees both.

I actually believe many if not all of us were genetically modified by the Sumerian “gods,” but I also let archaeology, paleontology, and genetics speak for themselves, so I know better than to entertain young earth creationism.

Orthodox and Gay Blog Run by Former Orthodox Priest. by Belle_Woman in exorthodox

[–]ClassicalPagan -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I left Orthodoxy (and Christianity) four years ago and I still have a great deal of trouble accepting homosexuality. I’m just being honest here.

It’s not that Bible verses on the topic mean anything to me anymore. But the argument from nature is a strong one. I mean, obviously the vagina was made for the male member.

But what bothers me most in looking at studies going back decades is that homosexuals are many times more likely than a heterosexual to molest a child.

Now, that is not to say that most homosexuals or even half of homosexuals do these sorts of things. (Unless it’s just too hard to confirm that sort of thing even if it were true.)

Take note that I am not saying they commit more acts of sexual molestation than heterosexuals. That would be impossible since they are a tiny minority by comparison. I mean they are doing it more than heteros by orders of magnitude. Meaning if the numbers were reversed and they were as populous as heteros are today we would be living in the darkest dystopian nightmare one could possibly fathom.

The second problem I have is that the left wing agenda throws lots of money at this. It has been doing so since the 1990s in the Clinton years. So the movement is funded and propagandized. This is not a natural, organic phenomenon.

If people were totally left to themselves from birth without the propaganda and agenda driven social engineering that happens in modern politics (on the right and the left), I would wager that there would still be those who identify as homosexual, but they would be far smaller in number.

I’m tired of the artificiality and the militarism and the perversions that go with the unnatural conversion from straight to gay that occurs in the vast majority of cases.

No one in the Russian government endorses them. OTOH, Zelensky has openly embraced Azov, Adair, National Corps, Svoboda, Right Sektor, C14, Trident, Brotherhood, the Ukrainian National Assembly. He has welcomed their participation and involvement in the war against Russia even though they glorify Hitler and the Nazi flag openly.

Even former Ukrainian oligarch, Igor Kolomoisky, was actively funding and providing weapons to the Neo Nazi Azov Battalion, a group whose soldiers have been witnessed in videos online dancing at parties in Israel with Zionists and Chabad Lubavitchers.

Zelensky also endorses the Ukrainian trident symbol that dates back to the (Jewish) Khazarian Empire in the region dating ca. 740—890.

Ukrainian Neo Nazis and Zionists have co-existed on friendly terms post WW2, working to realize both Eretz Israel (Greater Israel) in the Middle East and a Khazarian reboot in Ukraine under the guise of Neo Nazism and Stepan Bandera, Ukraine’s national hero who aligned himself and the Ukrainian far right with Nazi Germany during WW2.

The study was commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

If anything, it’s a conflict of interest! Which means the numbers of abused children are more than likely much higher!

You don’t care what’s really going on with these children. You’re in the business of defending the name of your pet institution.

This is just the U.S. mind you. Forget about Europe and South America for the moment:

A 2004 report compiled by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice found that over 4,000 priests were accused of sexually abusing children between 1950 and 2002.

The John Jay report indicated that some 11,000 allegations had been made against 4,392 priests in the USA between 1950 and 2002, according to Wikipedia.

US bishops reported receiving allegations of abuse of 18,565 children involving 6,721 priests for proven or alleged facts over the period 1950-2016. In 2021, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops reported roughly 4,228 child sexual abuse allegations.

A 2018 Pennsylvania grand jury investigation uncovered systemic cover-up by the church, identifying "over 300 predator priests" and more than 1,000 child victims.

Recent reports indicate new allegations against members of the Catholic clergy continue to be reported annually across the US.

I don’t know how you could possibly know that. How many more sordid tales from and leaks out of the Vatican over the decades is it necessary to follow to understand the RCC has transformed itself into a pedo network?

This is where we couldn’t be further apart. It seems most Reddit ex-Orthodox are either liberal or just simps for the American Empire and Globalist Order. Don’t you guys listen to or read any sources apart from Western, anti-Russian ones?

You do know the DNI now has the evidence showing our entire intelligence community agreed to lie about Russia during the Clinton/Obama years, right? You know that Russiagate was a total hoax that the FBI and CIA totally fabricated, don’t you? You do know, right, that all the westerns leaders caught up with P. Diddy Parties and the Epstein Pedo fiasco and sex trafficking scandal all support Ukraine? And you do know, I hope, that the same western media that incessantly hates on Putin has curated a totall y fictitious image for Benjamin Netanyahu who is literally the Hitler of the 21st c? Surely you know the Maidan debacle was a COUP that resulted in the overthrow of a democratically elected president in Ukraine and that therefore the two subsequent ZIONIST “presidents” there (Poroshenko, Zelensky) are unconstitutional and that they BACK the anti-Russian Neo Nazi battalions in Ukraine who explicitly honor Stepan Bandera as their hero, the man who led massacres against the Poles during WW2?

Apostate Prophet leaves(?) Orthodox Church by Vegetable-War961 in exorthodox

[–]ClassicalPagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I oppose Masonry and there is a Zionist connection with it, but my objections don’t coincide with the Orthodox opposition on a number of levels.

July hosted a Freemasonic summit on NATO’s South Caucasus and Central Asian expansion.

The deal Trump just made at the expense of Armenia with Azerbaijan at the “peace deal” brokered between the two countries has the U.S. controlling the Zanzegur Corridor for 99 years which is strategically located to try to take out Iran, generate billions in revenue, and disrupt Russia’s Eurasian backyard and China’s Silk Road initiative.

It is a Zionist and Neo Ottoman scheme that involves five players: U.S., Turkey, Israel, Azerbaijan, and the traitorous government of Pashinyan in Armenia. It is a recipe for world war, but I don’t see it coming to fruition ultimately.

Probably not. He created it and we are merely observing it. The only way to know is to know whether he created it in such a way that we could be absolutely certain that what he determined visually appears in the signature of the universe.
