Until a god is also superior to logic and sense themselves, it is not omnipotent and need not be worshiped as supreme, and if not supreme, it need not be worshipped at all. Which is to say, our God can make perfectly good nonsense if He darn well pleases. All things need be consistent with Him, He need be consistent with naught but Himself. Problem solved, back to praying, everyone.

What he says at 14:20 basically rips my heart out as a father. At 18:50, he gives some advice that anyone who has lost someone to cancer can appreciate. And at 21:30, he says one of the wisest things I
HI Andrew, thanks for inviting me to this Circle but could you explain to me the intention of this circle?
Good news. I like to see, things resemble good news? Let me think about it, and I'll post something better than that. Glad to see you join!
<p>Ok, good news and paradox are quite distinct from each other <img src="http://orthodoxcircle.com/file/pic/emoticon/default/smile.png" alt="Smile" title="Smile" title="v_middle" /></p>
<p>I think of it paradoxically in the sense, we would expect this news from practicing Orthodox Christians, and are seeing it more in the secular world?</p>
<p>So, are these people actually christian or are you merely "interpreting" there actions or comments to be pseudo-christian like? still just asking to get the feel for what the point it ... <img src="http://orthodoxcircle.com/file/pic/emoticon/default/smile.png" alt="Smile" title="Smile" title="v...

<p>Either way. Then using the Holy Fathers, as the lense through which we interpret their actions would be best.</p>
<p>The fundamental flaw to this style is that "intention" is everything in Orthodoxy. A priest, for example, will never adminster Holy Communion without the consent of the participant, etc. Therefore, making claims that someone's action "is" Orthodox without their consent to that claim is in someway...

<p>Not the intetion at all. Simply an opportunity to look at Popular Culture, throught the eyes of the Holy Fathers. Focusing on the postive, and supporting it's interpretation.</p>
<p>I dont believe that this is the Orthodox way <img src="http://orthodoxcircle.com/file/pic/emoticon/default/happy.png" alt="Happy" title="Happy" title="v_middle" /> I do not believe that the Church Fathers would support you in this action but I am willing to be proven wrong ... it will be intere...

<p>Leave it ... dont limit it to Hollywood though as I really do not believe there are many "crypto-christians" lying around there other than Tom Hanks <img src="http://orthodoxcircle.com/file/pic/emoticon/default/tongue.png" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" title="v_middle" /></p>
Ok ... I think I am starting to understand, however, what I dont understand is that you can not apply "quotes" of fathers to make something "true" ... whilest the action may resemble an Orthodox action it does not make it an Orthodox action without the consent of the individual who is actioning that action ...
The paradox nature of Orthodoxy
I am just trying to find my feet in this circle so I wanted to ask the Creator what it is that he is expecting to see develop here? The Paradox nature in Orthodox is in all areas of Orthodoxy so perhaps if the criteria of this group was narrowed down or explained further?
"I think it's my responsibility to know it, and to be conscious of it. And it would be really easy to say-- you know, I'm-- I'm 21 now. I do what I want. You raise your kids. But it's, that's not the truth of it. The truth of it is that every singer out there with songs on the radio is raising the next generation. So make your words count."

He who loves, ought so to love, that if he were asked even for his soul, and it were possible, he would not refuse it. I do not say “if he were asked,” but so that he would even run to present him with the gift. For nothing, nothing can be sweeter than such love; nothing will fall out there that is grievous. Truly “a faithful friend is the medicine of life.” (Ecclus. vi. 16.) Truly “a faithful friend is a strong defense.” (Ib. 14) For what will not a genuine f... View More
