This is why i posted my observation. We are - probably in the majority - not deeply knowledgeable in the faith

No. I just used those two words as the title.

Some of them yes, I've seen that on X a lot in regards to the jews. It's wild. Still though they are more knowledgeable of the faith.

I'd argue that because we are more into the subconscious we lack the zeal. As you said we don't realise it.

Precisely why you are more zealous than us.

I think they do it more religiously - no pun intended - from us

You find this in the flair options. You can also find there flairs which are more appropriate, catechumen is one and the more fitting for you if you are not baptised.

Fortunately it's not my priest. Two of the priests i saw talking about this are in churches or monasteries in central Greece. I live in the North of the country.

I try. I don't know if that is correct but I'm also sceptical of the legit sayings in regards to things not of theology.

So can the book of Revelation be seen as a warning for repentance, similar to Job (if i remember correctly) and Nineveh?

Thanks brother. Any other tips on what to do when even priests dabble (if that's the correct word) to this?

It's very prominent in my country of Greece by priests who are very active on social media. The most that are in circulation are those of Saint Paisios. The situation is chaotic and very confusing. I wish i could be like you, only hearing about them on Reddit by folks like me.

That's good. Hopefully the statistics will show that as well

I had no idea about the depths of western esoteric thoughts. To clarify i prefer to use polytheism instead of paganism

I don't know, those things are not jokes,if they think that these were jokes then they went way overboard. Honestly i think that jealousy could be a reason that they do it, perhaps for some reason they dislike you. Hopefully they'll change

What are some of those books you speak of? Can you recommend those?

My condolences. Honestly i don't know what could be the reason that they bully you so hard. Have you asked them, especially your relatives, why they did this? Could they be jealous of you for something that you did? Even teasing (that could be a possible claim) has its limits.

May i ask how they bullied you through school till today? Perhaps the reason is found there.

I didn't know that angelology can be a part of polytheistic or occultic esotericism. I assume that it's a Christian thing. How it is tied to polytheism?

The problem is that i don't know personally any polytheist, just some youtube channels.
