“”Optimistic and joyful religion[s]” are what Warren and Osteen preach.”

FK, you know those two aren’t Orthodox nor do they teach Orthodoxy. That said, Orthodoxy, for all its ascetical and liturgical rigor, is remarkably joyful.

Yes, I know that very well. They are Protestants. :) In 10,462 I criticized them both AS Protestant leaders, and I pinged you to the post. I was drawing a comparison between Orthodoxy and what I consider to be wayward Protestant preachers. The point being that in my current view, Orthodoxy and these Protestant preachers all "dumb down" the concepts of sin and hell to the detriment of the believer.
