Saints - new theory

[Zeriv]

Are the saints the aliens? I don't believe heaven is place that really exist. I believe there is unlimited number of earths and only saints are aliens.

That is not the belief of the Church. All Christians are considered saints, though we most often use the term to describe a righteous Christian who has died and passed into the presence of God.

Since when orthodoxy consider all christians saints? We know that if we call the dead or pray to dead it is mortal sin. Since saints are alive they are not dead. Orthodoxy consider saints are above righteous humans.

Canonization, afaik, isn't the same as in Catholicism. Saints are canonized in the East to be examples, but it doesn't mean.. say.. your humble and loving grandmother wasn't a saint, even if the world didn't know about her.

Would you please raise a support ticket then, and ask for your religious denomination Icon to be changed to Orthodox so that we know you are

To raise a support ticket - go to the Blue Menu bar at the top of this page - it shows Home , Forums Media etc and click on the 'Support' word - and select Your Ticket and ask for this change.
