FYI, the existence of Dowry practices prove women needed providing for by men. The Dowry makes no economic sense otherwise. Nowadays it doesn't make much economic sense, at least in most of the world. Therefore it no longer exists.

Clearly everyone made their own assumptions and got offended by them, then claim I was the one attacking straw-men. I doubt this would've happened in a face-to-face conversation.

Did someone say something dumb that I missed?

Sola Scriptura is the idea that the Bible is the highest authority. I find it amusing how millions of people claim to believe in sola scriptura, yet they do not agree with each other on a large number of issues. If anything, this is evidence of its failure. Scripture needs to be interpreted as...

Evangelicals are one of the culprits to America's decline.

Pope Francis and Bartholomew aren't exactly saints...

I read a few letters some reformers exchanged with Greek Orthodox. It sounded like they wanted to decide for themselves what scripture said, even making the lame excuse of 'letting scripture interpret scripture'. Nonsense.

Are all the reformers responsible for the existence of the numerous cults in Protestantism?

Are they Roman Catholic? In that case, I'm surprised. Roman Catholic Vietnamese in Vietnam tend to really like Americans. Over 50% of East Asian women in the US marry white men. Why that is, I don't know.

Men ought to be providers and protectors of their families. Saints and clergy have always been a tiny percentage of the population. Sons and daughters need fathers. When the head of the household goes, the family gets far weaker.

Makes me wonder if the Reformation was really that bad. I don't think the weird cult churches across America have any relation to Luther or Henry VIII.

Violent in the case of defending society, yes. Chivalry is dead in the West.

Sad to see so many people who are willing to believe the Apostles' Church went extinct. They were all in ONE church. Matthew 16:18 and John 17:21 If you trust the church that made the Bible's canon, why believe it went extinct?

No, degeneracy itself doesn't make strong men. Hardship does. It just so happens that degeneracy usually comes before hardship. Whites in the UK are going to either go extinct, or become violent. If they become violent, then their men will become stronger and have higher testosterone than they...

Anglicans are Western after all! It's funny how we have more in common with Anglicans despite being more historically distant from them than Roman Catholics.

So sad. It never made sense to me that RC priests cannot raise families of their own. A ROCOR priest I met had such a nice family. Society and churches need more stable families. I have been told that this is a major reason why homosexuals in Medieval and Renaissance times were more attracted...

Were the people mostly immigrant? I need to check out a nearby Egyptian cathedral to see if it's mostly immigrant or if they have lots of American converts.

Hard times make strong men. Strong men make good times. Good times make weak men. The wealth that came to the West, particularly America, after WWII made the next generation of men into pansies. The average testosterone level is lowest it's been in a long time.

Come to think of it, not all Orthodox jurisdictions have people standing. Must not be a doctrinal thing.

Andrew is my middle name. Toy Story 3 is my all time favorite film.
