       I repeat, the Orthodox Church is the problem:

       > In the 16th century under Ivan “the Terrible,” the ruling
       elite of Muscovy, as the land of Russia was known then,
       propagated the idea of it being the Third Rome: the
       God-ordained, sole home of true Christianity.

       > The two previous capitals of Christianity – the Rome of the
       Vatican and the Rome of Constantinople as the capital of the
       Byzantine Empire – could no longer aspire to such status. After
       all, the first was under control of schismatics – as Orthodox
       Christians would view Catholics – while the second had been
       occupied by the Ottoman Turks since the city’s fall in 1453.
       That left Russia as the only place where a pure form of
       Christianity could reside.

       to love one another, but their definition of what ‘love one

       equality to climate change to nuclear arms to the death penalty.
       Further, it ignores that the very founder of the faith was a

       Racists will always be racists, but what we can do is get them

       woman in Mississippi whose mother belonged to a whites-only
       church in the 1960s. The older woman was asked whether Jesus
       would have allowed African Americans to worship in his church.
       “Of course he would have,” she said, “but Jesus would have been
       wrong.”

       This 1960s racist is at least better than Greene who tries to
       claim that Jesus would endorse her.

       Not only does homophobia come exclusively from the Old Testament
       (hence Judaism, not Christianity) as we have pointed out over
       and over again, but so does anti-contraception:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_views_on_contraception
       --- Quote ---
       > Among traditional interpretations of the Torah, active
       prevention of pregnancy is in violation of the commandment "be
       fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28). Some Rabbinic
       authorities[who?] further consider the possibility (generally
       not accepted) that a union that by definition cannot lead to
       pregnancy would amount to "spilling seed", the sin of Onan (
       Genesis 38:9–10).
       > ...
       > Contraceptive measures that lead to male sterility, are not
       ever permitted for their interfering with a man's obligation,
       only ever being permitted in life-threatening circumstances for
       the man such as some forms of cancer. For example, a crushed or
       mangled man may not be permitted to marry anyone but a convert
       under Jewish law, and halachic authorities see vasectomy as a
       form of maiming, even if already married to a non-convert
       becoming maimed intentionally or accidentally including a
       vasectomy does obligate divorce unless a successful repair
       surgery is performed and sperm flow is returned (based on
       Deuteronomy 23:2).[1]
       > ...
       > In the Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Issurei (21:18)–which is part of
       the Maimonides' Law Code from the medieval period–it is stated
       that expending semen for no purpose is forbidden as a man holds
       the sole responsibility in the act of procreation. Because the
       commandant for this duty rests on the man, any form of male
       contraception or sterilization is prohibited by Traditional
       Jewish Law.[5]

       > Voris then drilled down on contraception, specifically, asking
       Eubanks if she would use her vote in the Michigan statehouse to
       make it illegal. “We have a declining population. We have an
       underpopulation problem. All of this could be avoided if we were
       a truly pro-life nation,” Eubanks said.

       This topic has succeeded! Judeo-Christianity will henceforth
       surely separate into its fundamentally incompatible constituent
       components Judaism and (Gnostic) Christianity. This will set up
       the battle between the Antichrist (a.k.a. Jewish Messiah) and
       the Second Coming of Jesus.
       The Orthodox Church will definitely be supporting the
       Antichrist. I do not mean only the Russian Orthodox Church, I
       mean the Orthodox Church in general:
