It’s a little ironical how up in arms some people get when someone says the same things about them that they say to others. While they talk about love, they spit out hate, profanity and curses all because some guy DARED to criticize a religion that has had and continues to have no compunction about damning those to hell who differ with them on doctrine.
I’m not defending the guy nor would I have said the things he did in the same way, but there’s no getting around the facts that both the Roman Catholic and Eastern/Greek Orthodox churches spared no punches against those they deemed “Protestant” and why there remain distinct doctrinal differences between all three.
Instead of condemning the guy - and conveniently ALL Protestants, why not discuss what he said that was in error about the Orthodox religion? What did he get wrong?
Satire, yes?
I just read that “apology”. Ignoring the specific points, let me just say that, generally speaking, the single word that would best describe it is, whether I agree with the points or not, “juvenile”.
Hahaha. In the esteemed words of John McClain from the first Die Hard movie, I say to all my Orthodox brethren “welcome to the party pal”!
Enjoy! And just remember, all the non-Catholic/Protestant Christians telling you you’re hellbound are just doing it because they love you. It’s a sacrifice for them truly, it pains them to say it. They certainly derive no pleasure in doing so.
Heaven forbid.
