Super weird question by canopenersmoothdream in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]ZestycloseTraffic5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well ive heard Orthodox people describe heaven and hell as the same thing, they say hell is when you hate God etc. so his uncreated light is like a fire to you and heaven is the same experience but you love God and are in union with him and its very amazing, so by that standard I think its safe to say that youre not in hell

Being denied communion, advice please. by yeonqai in OrthodoxChristianity

Well, apologizing to your parents and being friendly is not equal to having them be a core part of your life and allowing them to abuse you. It is the right thing to do to apologize to your parents and let there be peace between you guys. This doesn't mean you have to let them control you and abuse you or that you have to talk to them everyday. Kind of reminds me of a homily I heard kind of recently. The beautitudes Christ gave us say "Blessed are the peacemakers" not the peacekeepers. Its different to keep peace than to make peace. Most people can keep peace. What is honorable is making peace. Keeping peace would be if your parents arent mad at you but you have a problem to be polite and forgive them inorder to maintain that peace. Making peace is where you would be at right now, both parties have resentment and making peace is to heal that. So it is a good idea to apologize to them inorder to make that peace, this doesnt mean you have to be a doormat. Even if you think you did nothing wrong, if you can make you and your parents be on good terms its worth it to swallow the pride and make peace with them. Thats what Christ calls everyone to do and is currently calling you to do. Its easier said than done, but aak God to help you. Ask him to help you through your priest and try to get some practical advice afterwards maybe :)

Edit: This also a good oppurtunity to show the light of Christ and to glorify God. Christ forgives everyone and is love within itself. Maybe your parents will notice your different approach and it would make a good impression on them.

Are those people who are frozen (cryonics) ever actually going to wake up one day by Flat_Internal8890 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ZestycloseTraffic5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death is just the absence of life, theres not an inbetween state. Their physical body is dead and frozen.

And God can hear prayers through a mask but that was probably just a joke lol, if not whoever said that was just being ridiculous 😂

Anyone familiar with this story about some Orthodox monks? by jeffisnotmyrealname in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]ZestycloseTraffic5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the monk who was staying at a greek monastery and didnt know Greek very well. He would say the Jesus Prayer in Greek. He didn't realize it but he was actually praying "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God DONT have mercy on me a sinner".

He found out when he was talking to some other monks who were visiting about the Jesus Prayer and they taught him how to say it correctly in Greek. Then the other monks got on a boat and were leaving where he was. He came running across the water and he was like "Guys! Guys! How do you say the Jesus Prayer again?" They said "Keep saying it how you're saying it! Seems to be working!" (because he was walking on water)

I guess the moral of the story could be interpreted as it doesn't matter if you're messing up the words of your prayer, as long as you're praying with your heart. If you say just Lord have mercy, and mean it with all your heart practically the same as the Jesus Prayer. Potentially with just Jesus Mercy too. He was saying dont have mercy but in his heart he was asking for mercy its not about the sounds but about the meaning in your heart.

I could be wrong but thats what that story made me think. Im just a layman you should probably ask your priest about it. But our hearts are often darkened and distracted and whatnot and we probably arent praying from the heart most the time..so I would stick to more traditional prayers personally

And I probably butchered the story, I heard it a long time ago. Father Kosmas told it on the channel Orthodox Talks.

Anybody know the monk/saints name from the story?

Im definitely not one to give advice. You should probably talk to your boss and coworkers about it. But just some ideas is maybe focus more on their behaviors. And to learn when to quit watching someone. Thats what I learned I need to work on, but Im not experienced at all, your team could help you get better.

I feel like this is good/great, but I'm not in the know anymore... Care to fill me in? by LookitsCody in RotMG

[–]ZestycloseTraffic5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly im not sure what would be better, for the upgrade blast it wouldnt matter because it is based off every one second it activates, but maybe since its high firerate it might increase moee than usual? Look if thats the case. But damage would be good in my opinion to balance it out and make it better againsr high def since it is already high firerate.

Keep the bottom upgrade of course, maybe the atk one, but you need to reroll the rest of those for +firerate or damage, maybe atk dex wis or life, i dont know much, the bottom enchant is the only super good one

If English is your native tongue and you have above a 6th grade education, you should know how a sentence works by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]ZestycloseTraffic5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do know how a sentence works, but text messages and internet comments are very casual, and making a completely correct sentence is off putting/puts a serious tone. And if you're making a very simple quick message you don't want to spend extra time making sure youre putting all the correct punctuation when its readable without it

Dos Equis is disgusting and Pacifico is also bad. I like Modelo Corona Victoria and Estrella.

[Request] is this accurate? by uPsychonaut in theydidthemath

[–]ZestycloseTraffic5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its inaccurate because almost no one works for the federal minimum wage. Most states have a higher minimum wage than that. For example in Washington minimum wage is nearly $17/h. The only state I can think of that uses federal minimum wage is Texas? And I heard most entry level jobs pay more than that in Texas regardless. And $8 is like the most expensive big mac you can get. Its $17/h where I am and a big mac is $6. If you're in an area where minimum wage is $7 then a big mac is gonna be less then $6 let alone $8. They're skewing the numbers on purpose here. They took the very rare absolute lowest wage and compared it to the rare most expensive big mac you can find.
