orthodox liturgies are only allowed to be celebrated once per day per altar

In some Russian churches they have tiny side-altars when one service a day is not enough, but there's also not enough money for another dedicated altar.

And it's not like he'll actually join the order overnight. If he wants to work for a tiny room and food as a novice, let him, imo. Monks could use some help probably.

There was an Italian (?) TV show where a prostitute (?) joined a monastery to hide from the mafia, and later decided to join for real. I remember very little about it, only that the novice habits were blue, so I'm not sure if it was before or after Sister Act.

I get what he's trying to say, but this is the dumbest metaphor for it. Is it better to be good at maths or have a firm grasp of reality? Yeah, I just don't know, man.

True enough.

Question for you and the other orthodox types - call it a hunch, but I'm assuming that there's a significant correlation between "young orthodox laymen with big monastic style beards" and "people I might best avoid"? Or am I just being paranoid about Orthodox hipsters?

In Eastern Europe it means they're either from a very small secluded town and/or it's a crazy millionaire.

Which is more cruel though - Feeding people to animals for your Sunday afternoon entertainment, or a game that causes slow and insidious brain injuries that will haunt its players for years to come and offering them no aid?

That's actually not a rhetorical question.

The latter is worse, because it's not as entertaining to watch. Also feeding animals is arguably good.
