Are you in any way religious?

[Teukros]

I am a orthodox Christian but I like to discover more and more subjects of the main religion of Greece.Mostly,the Great role that played to secure our Greekness and the connection between that ancient Greek philosophy.I hate all that staff about jewism etc etc, which is the history of another nation.We'd better start finding this link to understand how Orthodoxy dominated and how it is linked with Greece.

It is obvious than that your faith is in vain...do not say my brother that you hold your faith with the Orthodoxy clergys, than say you seek to find out why we had sucha major shift and that you aknowledge that this religion is foreign not only to us now, but the anceints aswell.

Be a man and go out there and find your answers, what ever you do, do it with determination.

Dont be afraid to let go.

Just as everyone dominates over someone else.

A couple of torn necks, a few people killed etc etc

I don't think Orthodoxy was obliged to the local people.I believe it was accepted by them.

Regardless what you believe Laconian, whether you like it or not, the Greek Orthodox religion is a part of our Greek culture now and I don't see anything wrong with that. I am still very fascinated with ancient Greek history and at the same time I follow the Greek Orthodox church.

Like a give a shit that you follow something you know nothing of, you defend something that you dont even comprehend. You a typical little flag waiver mate. And you if you dont see anything wrong with that then do not concern yourself with ancient Greece....for if any of them where to meet you, youd be a barbarian as much as Persian...for thats where the root of your religion lies.

If you wanna have an educated discusson with me mate come with hypothesis, not your little hairy chest sticking out with 19 crt gold cross hanging from it.

As a matter of fact, i chal;lange any of you to come to me and tell me exactly how this christianity was absorbed by the Hellenics, or rather a knife point.

Proove to me how the christian faith has put Greece ina better position than it was before with the great thinkers.

And finaly, the purpose of this religion.......

Lakonian, you are free to disagree with Orthodox Christianity but please do so with some respect for those of us who love Christ and are striving for His kingdom. I personally do not see any profit in discussing my faith with someone who displays such obvious disdain for my beliefs. The tone of your posts has thus far been the complete antithesis of the virtues of honour and respect you presumably hoped to demonstrate in your signature.

Hoping you have a blessed new year.

Gee you have put me to shame....what to do...will you show me the way brethren? Open my eyes for me......show me this magical brick road to the kingdom......tell me theres ferry floss there.

You have agood year to mate, keep your head up, because if you keep down like where your ina church, you might miss the truth tha passes right by you...or you just might run into a tree.

Anyways....so much for debate.

You all know me in here, i direct no offense to anyone, i simply seek the truth as much as all of you, but people like this clown get to me.

And thank you for pointing out my quote, yes i like a spartan, like my grandfather and my grandfather before that will do what i think is right,...never thought speaking my mind would be taken as an attack.
