@SydSteyerhart All positions require presuppositions. Dawkins doesn’t just stand around being curious. He makes claims constantly. How can he be “correct” without presuppositions?
Btw I have no idea what this is about and am staunchly opposed to both the pope and Dawkins.
One vile habit is swearing using foul language. The guardian angel of such a person weeps, and the devil rejoices. From this person, the Mother of God withdraws Her prayerful intercession and distances Herself. For blasphemy, God inflicts trouble, disease, and many plagues upon man.

Eastern Orthodoxy is the True Faith.
The EO/OO schism is one of the earliest schisms from the Church. They broke off from us because they said that Christ had one unified nature, which we deny because then He’s no longer fully God and fully man, He becomes a third thing, an amalgamation of both.
We hold and always have that Christ has two natures, He is fully God and fully man.
What is not fully assumed cannot be fully redeemed.
There’s a lot more to it than this but it’s a tweet and I’m not that good at theology.
Hope that helps.
Today we had a YouTuber show up to our parish, harass our parishioners as they were trying to go in and out of church, ask questions for shock value, and refused to actually meet with clergy to get their questions answered.
Guessing there will be more of this to come.
Hey, I’m an Orthodox Christian and I rely 100 percent on the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ, because nothing I do could ever save my soul.
Nonetheless, I strive to do good works, because we are called to by God.
I hope that clears things up.
