I guess I'm still shifting from the atheistic worldview where there is no such thing as the corruption of sin. I'm almost searching for a political identity, though I suppose from an Orthodox Christian standpoint, that doesn't matter so much as advancing the Kingdom of God.
I can relate to this, coming from far left politics and activism as a non-believer to Orthodoxy. I have read this thread with interest, but haven't posted because I'm too new to have any kind of advice or anything to share. I always felt it important to have a political stance and to engage, but that's changing now and I'm actually just taking a break from it all, it stirs up too much. I don't want to become a total reactionary out of a need to distance myself, if that makes sense.
I am reading blessed Fr. Seraphims biography now, and it is wonderful. Never thought I'd lug a brick of a book like that around on the city bus. If you ever do get the chance to read it, I think you'll love it. also, seconding the Nihilism online, I read a bit of it on the net a while ago.
