From the last thread 'cause I was TOO SLOWHEY GAL posted:anything preventing you from coming back? Mostly just personal difficulty with believing. Even when I was younger and still involved with the church, there was no energy behind it, and after a while I kinda realized I had like, never truly believed in God but went through the motions. This has stayed true even when I was going through a pendulum motion of atheism/agnosticism and the church/deism back in the day. Still, I wouldn't be here if I was some card-carrying, smug "ha ha you dumb Christians there couldn't possibly be such a thing as God  " atheist; I find theology and the liturgy extremely interesting. Pomp and circumstance is like, my extended middle name.Though, come to think of it, I know very little about Orthodoxy beyond a vague concept of autocephaly, the Pentarchy being a thing, and silly hats with fold-down crosses so they don't hit the door. I know some of how Orthodoxy affected the history of the Byzantines as well, but nothing beyond that, really!
