    Every Anglo I’ve met who converted to Eastern Orthodoxy was absolutely a Deus Vult racist against Muslims and tried to hide it behind Byzantine aesthetics. Adult converts to monotheisms are usually reactionary nuts, but this kind has a little extra flair

              That’s all the criteria anyone converting to any religion today has for doing so, notwithstanding the fact that its genuinely the worst reason for it. Juice = greed, hedonism & predation

              The Abrahamic religions have all been co-opted by the bourgeois capitalist empires for centuries, & are mostly just secret societies for people who are so insufferably petty that they could have their lives ruined if you found out one of them gave a great blowjob.

              I think one should just lock themselves in a cage in the basement instead of conversion

      As far as I’m concerned, no one ‘finds god’ from a genuine cultural or spiritual standpoint but only does so as a means of getting the best deal possible.

      What’s so macho about wanting a life where you’re treated like a princess solely for what’s between your legs? Absolute bourgeois decadence.
