Greece legalizes same-sex marriage in a first for an Orthodox Christian country
CNN ^ | February 15, 2024 | Elinda Labropoulou

Posted on 02/15/2024 3:09:36 PM PST by Miami Rebel

The Greek parliament on Thursday passed a law legalizing same-sex marriage, in a landmark victory for human rights in Greece and making it the first majority Orthodox Christian country to establish marriage equality for all. The decision, supported by 176 out of 300 lawmakers in parliament and with 78 against, follows months of polarized political and public discourse, and has been welcomed as a long-awaited vindication by the country’s LGBTQ+ couples.

“Probably the craziest comment I’ve seen here for a while.”

You haven’t worked with the State Department lately, I see.

I’m not arguing that Paul didn’t find these practices repugnant. But to the Greeks these weren’t decadent. That is to say, they weren’t fringe behaviors that somehow seeped into the mainstream culture. They WERE part of the Hellenic mainstream.

I can’t see the Greek Orthodox Church going along with homosexual weddings. I wonder what the response of the government will be.

Pagan mainstream. Those practices were adopted by the Jews throughout their history and caused them to be conquered and dispersed time and again.

As far as Paul was concerned, this was definitely against Christ's teaching.

The West is Satanic. Humanity’s survival depends on Russia, Africa and Asia.

That is one definition of decadent. Here is another Webster definition: Marked by or providing unrestrained gratification; self-indulgent. Decadence is typically used within the context of moral decay. How the Ancient Greeks arrived at a acceptable social norm is not the assertion by me, the CONDITION(decadence definition)of the time was of moral decay. This is affirmed by the apostle Paul who certainly takes on the Corinthian church(1 Corinthians 6:9-10) with their immoral behavior. America cut the path for this.

Secondly, scholars disagree as to the extent of homosexual behavior in ancient Greece as being “normative” as you suggest. Some say that is was a sole exercise of the aristocracy, others not. Read Wikipedia: Homosexuality in Ancient Greece; Scholarship and Controversy, and you can find plenty of scholarship showing ancient distaste for the practice of homosexuality. Even Plato detested it, “utterly unholy, odious-to-the-gods and ugliest of ugly things”

Finally, as much as Greece became the lush fields for the seeds of Christianity and an anchor to part of the Church, today’s Greeks, westernized in many ways have fallen back in to their former idolatrous ways.

Russia is a nation in decline.

The country’s birth rates have been in decline since 1994 when Russia was estimated to have 149 million citizens. By the start of 2022, its population was estimated to be 145.6 million, with 3,358 births a day being more than cancelled out by a daily death rate of 3,663. (May 2023)

Economically it is failing: household income per capita in 2011 was $8,487. At the end of 2022 it was $7,932.

Per capita alcohol consumption (2019) was 4.16 gallons. That compares with US consumption of 2.51 gallons. (2022)

How Christian are Russians? Across all three waves of ISSP data, no more than about one-in-ten Russians said they attend religious services at least once a month. The share of regular attenders (monthly or more often) was 2% in 1991, 9% in 1998 and 7% in 2008.(Feb 10, 2014.) In the US, in May, 2023, Gallup reports 31% of U.S. adults said they attended church in the past seven days, remaining below the 34% measured before the pandemic and the 40% measured in most years before 2013. (June 26, 2023)

If Humanity’s Survival depends on Russia, we might as well close up shop now.
