there's only one orthodox church in denmark so it's very exotic

akshuyally Finland was its own country that had the same monarch as Russia. It was never legally part of the Empire. The Russian Emperor was the Grand Duke of Finland but that’s it.

orthodoxy and islam are very much alike desu
orthodoxians will cope, seethe and dilate but it's just true

name 5 similarities
even Iconoclasm didn’t persist

it's okay. 6/10.

depends what you mean as "orthodox church" since there are various styles, Balkan/Greek style is quite different from Russian.

1. both are exclusive to thirdies

onion domes
acceptance of corruption and mismanagement in the government
lack of innovations
strict rules
worshipping arabs (in terms of orthodoxians it's only women but still)

That's normal, Orthodox churches don't have a single style because each nation has its own church for its own people.

I never expected an intelligent response from a Pole anyways. It seemed like a nice educational thread for a while.

you will never be Greek, Iki

All 4 happen in most other Christian churches, and we don't have onion domes and neither do most of the Balkans

acceptance of corruption and mismanagement in the government

bro, a fucking Catholic dares to say shit about corruption. There was a Medici cunt who became a cardinal at 12 cus his daddy pulled some strings.

lack of innovations

a dogmatic religion is bad because it doesn’t innovate? You realize that’s Protestant heresy in the eyes of the Catholic church, right? Why are Poles like this, seriously?

...and still catholic corruption is less than a fraction of what it is in orthodox churches where it's totally institutionalized so it's not even looked down upon

a dogmatic religion is bad because it doesn’t innovate

it's less about religious dogmas but more like discouraging innovations in regular life, they just want to keep their sheep living like 1000 years ago because it's easier to control them

no it would look exotic here

I don’t remember a literal child becoming an Orthodox bishop because his dad was an influential merchant. You are free to provide examples.

remove golden domes and maybe it will pass

that's just survivorship bias
you only know about cases of corruption in the catholic church because there are still catholics who don't agree with it and bring these cases to light
meanwhile in orthodox church corruption is so deeply embedded in their structure so they cannot even separate it

you simply recognize that it is there by the fact that all, literally all without even one exception orthodox countries are backward and poor

Really nigga? I don’t even want to seriously respond to this. This is like a joke writing itself.

remove golden domes and maybe it will pass

I have since 1991, the Orthodox Church has been reduced from golden domes to just a separate cult of worship. I have noticed that many Orthodox churches that now have golden domes were completely absent in the Russian Empire, and looked much better.

Slightly reminiscent of mosques because of all the domes. I think the only Orthodox church people can think of is the big famous one in Russia (I forgot if it's in Moscow or St. Petersburg).

Rate this church.

Fuck... Why the image is so small?

A couple of more photos then.

a bit depressing with the exterior slightly damaged and nothing but endless forests in all directions
would make for a cool horror map in a video game

good color scheme, clean and well built, but walls are too smooth and no stained glass
7/10

we have 150

we have over 300
some are really beautiful

It was a quite cute place before soviets. Only a couple of churches survived.

Oddly enough, Bavarian churches and some churches from Central Europe also have domes similar to Orthodox ones

here's my local church

Bolshaya Ordynka Street?
