By the wayside, I see that the Antiochians actually baptized you. Does this mean that prior to Orthodoxy you were not Christian?
Yes. I became a Christian and searched for a church. I was never a Protestant or Catholic or "non-denominational church attender" of any sort.  |

Good. With leftists like him, the more the merrier.
Nope. Now that I'm Orthodox, I have to change my facebook's "political views" box to read "Christian Monarchy--- restoration of Basilev/Tsar [it's Constantinople, not Istanbul]". |

That's because you're a Holy Fool. You serve the God-Appointed Emperor by pointing out his extremely few errors and excesses. You are the schizophrenic backbone of Justinian's symphonia. Your first task as Holy Fool is to dress in sackcloth and ashes, and beat your breast in front of your local courthouse or capitol building. You may cease as soon as the president resigns and an Orthodox leader replaces him, thus putting an end to the Time of Troubles. |

Nick, you better appreciate this amazing turn that this thread has taken.
I would love to see that icon up close.
Trust me, I think Nick and I are having the same thought right about now. Origen Teaching the Saints St. Christopher Cynocephalus Now this . . . Don't forget St. Rumwould of Buckingham. |

It is often a pit stop on the way to Orthodoxy for many. |

A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
