[B-Chan]

You're right. It was a stupid analogy. I'm sure when they come to throw us all to the lions we'll be shaking our fists at each other to the bitter end.

Forget I said anything.

[MarMema]

We don't have to shake fists. We can just be friends across the lines of different churches. There are no Orthodox who object to friendship or community among fellow Christians. In fact we are happy to share the Orthodox church with you as well, but you must become Orthodox officially in order for us to do that. :-)

The eastern church has already survived enough evil that we are rarely frightened of the future. Evil is part of this world.
