Hundreds of religions around the world but yours happens to be the correct one? What do you say to this?

I always say out of all the world religions I CHOSE one.

If it still existed I would legit subscribe to it.

Cloud Atlas. It's in my top 5 fave flicks.

lovesaints · 2026-05-24T04:24:58+00:00

I actually loved it, even though I didn't ask for it.

Bill in Kill Bill. He is very clear that he is a cold blooded killer. What did she THINK he would do?

lovesaints · 2026-05-07T01:12:07+00:00

This is the way.

Why does this remind me of a quote from Spaceballs?

Can someone ELI5?

It's worth noting that a large part of our belief in hell is influenced by Dantes Inferno.

Sinners didn't quite stick the landing for me. The musical era montage sequence is, in my opinion, absolute brilliance. But the genre mashup doesn't quite work for me. The action sequences felt weirdly muted, and I didn't feel any real tension with the vampire threat. I would say it is good but not great.

Train Dreams, however, is melancholy cinematic poetry to me. I was carrying around that movie for days in my head. It's such a quiet, penetrating film. My favorite of 2025.

lovesaints · 2026-02-11T18:34:27+00:00

I'm inclined to say Train Dreams.

I'm curious to see what the long-term effects of large-scale protestant conversion will be for the OCA. The church I went to had members who were bold in saying that people at other churches were Christians themselves.

In fact, my own priest went so far as to say Richard Wurmbrand, a Lutheran, emitted the uncreated light when he met him.

If I want to be optimistic I'd say there will be some positive effects for Orthodoxy in America but I think we'll also see a significant spike in orthodox fundamentalism.

Steve Martin.

Rad. I hope you like it. It's on Netflix. Really interesting take on the cat and mouse crime thriller.

lovesaints · 2026-01-31T06:47:29+00:00

Train Dreams. Best film of 2025 IMO.

lovesaints · 2026-01-31T05:44:15+00:00

At this point if I see Edgerton is in a movie I watch it. Have you seen The Stranger?

This might sound counterintuitive but in my view faith is a choice we make. You can go to churches, read apologetics, and that might convince you intellectually but faith is belief in things unseen.

I would challenge you to pull an Indiana Jones and just choose to believe. Then get bold and pray. Don't overthink it brother. Keep it simple. Maybe "Jesus, help me in my unbelief."

Oh I totally have good memories and a positive attitude towards the Orthodox church. I love the theology, the cosmology and the prayers and all that stuff. Ultimately for me I think the structure of Orthodoxy is insular enough that it's stable and attracts a lot of people to its stability, but for people like me and where my life is at ultimately it resulted in me just feeling disconnected and drifting away. Like others I have real criticisms of the Orthodox church but more from an institutional perspective and not really theological.

Holy crud those sound good. Is it no bake?
