Captain Hygiene posted:I can't speak overall, but just from my own experience growing up in a pretty typical mix of Baptist/etc churches, Eastern Orthodox was outside the realm of anything that ever really got mentioned. It feels much further distant than catholicism, I don't remember hearing about any longheld conflict other than general theological disagreements. Eastern Orthodox holiday Russian checking in. Orthodoxy has waaaay more in common with Catholicism than the differences but no, there are theological discussions and disagreements, (let’s talk about calendar issues as well as the Great Schism) but I don’t think there have been wars fought or anything.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Somewhat different varieties of the same underlying brain worms. The Eastern Orthodox and Catholic churches both consider themselves the proper successor of the original Roman Church (which can be called Catholic or Orthodox depending on how you want to translate it), their main schism was over whether the Pope in Rome should be head of the church or there should be multiple Patriarchs in charge. The churches split, and later the Russian branch of the church declared a new Patriarch, but while there was some significant disagreement, they didn't have the kind of direct conflict Protestants and Catholics did and didn't generally have countries switching which they followed. In the modern US, the Orthodox church is generally considered a bit unusual, but not out there or not-really-Christian like Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses. The Orthodox presence in the US is small enough that they never got tied in to the anti-Catholic conspiracy theories or the extreme evangelical 'Catholics are in league with the Devil' stuff. It probably helps that while 'Orthodox Church' is mostly associated with Russia in people's minds, in the 20th century they were oppressed by the USSR so even during the height of the red scare weren't associated with being part of the other side of the cold war.

We confuse everybody. IME a lot of the Orthodox people I grew up with tended very conservative/Tea Party/MAGA. Insofar as beef with Protestants... my mom had to convert from Methodist to be allowed to marry my dad (and instantly reverted when they divorced). Most of the Americans I've met that have any idea of what an Orthodox Christian is got it from 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'. Which sure. Absolutely close enough. ETA: My husband was raised Catholic.

I always got the vibe that's more or less the attitude between the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Especially back in the day they were so far apart and yet also similar enough in structure that they seemed to mutually agree it just wasn't worth loving with each other most of the time. (the Protestants and such in your own backyard are another story)

One priest tried pretty hard to push conversion... but he himself was an adult convert. The rest of the clergy said 'it's not ideal, but it's America and the odds just aren't in your favor for finding an Orthodox guy. Just promise to raise the babies Orthodox'. We crossed our fingers behind our backs on that one, and then he got a vasectomy. Whooops! It always seems to work out that way, the folks raised in the tradition are way more chill about it than the converts. It's like they think they have to prove themselves.

My assumption was that its a classic Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879 vs Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912 issue, kind of surprised they're not some flavour of niche evangelical. Do orthodox churches have similar dumbass schisms every six weeks?

Slo-Tek posted:Eastern Orthodox is fast rising amongst various American trad-chuds, because Roman Catholics don't hate queers enough, I think. I'm guessing the mass conversion thing is because conservative Catholics have rationalized the Church's scandals by blaming it on a homosexual conspiracy and not the Church itself. In that light, converting to Orthodox makes sense.

I think it probably says a lot about the kind of people who are super into rating looks never seem to just view the ratings as straight deciles, it always has to be some insane bell curve. A 9 is never "hotter than 4 out of 5 people", it's always "hotter than 9,999,999,999 out of 10 billion people."

I can see it being a problem limiting prizes where you pay for tickets, and if you're going to do that you definitely need to say so beforehand. I was in an unpaid raffle where my tickets kept coming up. For the second one I just said someone else could have it, but I was definitely going to take the prize if my ticket was called a third time. The fourth time it came up they just looked at the ticket, looked at me, I laughed and waved them off, and they threw the ticket away and pulled another one lol
