Man, when I converted to Orthodoxy it was because I was convinced of its Truth, which is alive and beautiful and life bearing, not because it gave me a place to live out weird fantasies that seem to always come back to women, sexuality, and clothing.
I'll be honest, I feel I'm the most confused in this thread.

Hello Rastafarians ... <wave>
If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.

My wife often performs in community theater. Not entertaining neil simon stuff, musicals. Show tunes and all. A bunch of middle aged, never will be primadonnas prancing and screeching. I am there every opening night. I hate it. I love my wife, so I am there. My inlaws? My father in law is a very bigoted pentacostal minister. Last time he came over he shared with me intimate details of his sex life. I'd rather eat a bug than answer the phone when he calls. I love my wife so when she goes to visit. I go. When they visit. I entertain my father in law. You want to be married? You gotta show up for the marriage even if it makes your ears bleed.

I disagree with this "all things in moderation" fad. I try not to get moderated on my posts...
Maybe the Pope is resigning so he can become Orthodox
Does the Pope get to eat meat during Lent? He already gave up the Papacy for Lent.
mono or mia, either way you're slang for disease or disorder.
Is it because there is not bling enough in Orthodoxy that ye seek bling elsewhere?

Here is one of St. (in the Catholic Church, anyhow) Kolbe with the Theotokos and Christ. For the longest time I thought that was God the Father with glasses on.
Ah, their new Anathema collection.

No need for banners on a pole.

You know, a less freindly soul wpould point out that last year a photo of Tom Hanks taking part in a GO Good Friday procession was posted all over the orthodox net-world...but none of you kvetched that he "only did it for pubilicity". Could it be that some of the guys posting here have hade the same kind of fantasies about Miss Aniston that I've had about Tom Hanks?get over it guys...SHE"S NOT GOING TO MARRY ANY OF YOU

Hmmm ... hopefully your plan isn't to be one of those Orthodox who constantly have their fingers in the Catholic "pie". I think we have enough of that already with podkarpatska and ialmisry. Let me get this straight. So you are, as an RC, posting on an Orthodox forum thus putting your fingers in the Orthodox "pie" by criticising an Orthodox Christian for having their finger in the "Catholic pie" by responding to RC claims posted on an Orthodox forum.

If we did not wear clothes, would you really want to sit in the same chair in which some one else just sat?Side note: At the beginning of every school year, when discussing the dress code with my students, I always make the following announcement:"To all of the gentle men who like to "sag" their pants, and to all of the ladies who like to wear short shorts, I would like to remind you that the chairs in this classroom are never washed. Consider that before selecting your outfit every morning."
God help us if one of these is right, because the chances of successfully parsing this out are materially zero.
Or do you not know that Joe will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither Joe nor Joe nor Joe nor Joes who have sex with Joe nor Joe nor Joe nor Joe nor Joe nor Joe will inherit the kingdom of God. -1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Before Roman Catholics start using our lung, maybe they should try focusing on the cancerous outgrown known as protestantism in their own lung.
Try not to be too harsh. Understanding the human mind and heart is often a difficult and futile undertaking. There is much that is beyond most of us.

I'm pretty sure normal folks outside of internet don't really bother to think "problems" like this. The only place this matters is Jerusalem where they have their annual olympics of Christian behaviour.
I came to this website with the hopes of saving souls, and as far as I can tell I'm not doing a good job
I'm confused. Especially with the thing about the aliens.
you are correct that crossing ones self with three fingers, is a heresy;
Yeah, but they're lost. Because after Constantine, the Church became liturgical and started worshipping idols. The true Church--which consisted in random people with different beliefs coming together for 45 minutes every Sunday in someone's house for "Bible-studies"--was "forced underground" as the corrupted Constantinian Church started worshipping idols and indulging in all sorts of heretical doctrines like the literal presence, the concept of Sacraments, Monasticism and "traditions of man." The true Church wasn't rediscovered until the 16th century thanks to this German guy.
