Lilllabettt Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Not at all. Some people are hobby ship builders or hobby boggle puzzlers. Some people are hobby anarchists. We all need a hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatholicsAreKewl Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I can't answer your question as I'd like, because there are hobby anarchists in the room. I cannot engage political questions, even indirectly, with hobby ideologues of any kind. I am constitutionally allergic. Why are you denigrating their political beliefs? I mean, I'm keen to join in but I don't get how it relates to my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Perhaps the Orthodox will make him a Saint like Constantine. To be glorified a saint in Orthodoxy the person must be Orthodox. Obama is many things, but he is not Orthodox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't Orthodox.... He's fairly unOrthdox-change? Yes, we can. Yes, he can and he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I answer your question, it will be an occasion for people once again to get out their intellectual hobby horse and ride it once again off into the sunset. Which would be fine except that in this case it is obscene, because the Syrian war is not "for your entertainment." It is an ongoing disaster; a sea of humanity enduring unimaginable suffering at this very moment. Could we go into the midst of them and use their situation to spout political theories ---fun and interesting I'm sure-- but totally irrelevant on any practical level to them, the people around us who are in trouble? The idea is nauseating. And it should be even if we are a hundred thousand miles away. As Christians we are to see them as near to us as our next door neighbor.

Era Might Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 To be glorified a saint in Orthodoxy the person must be Orthodox. Obama is many things, but he is not Orthodox. Eh, there's ways around that. Baptize him just before he dies, like Constantine. Or chrismate him, I guess, since he's presumably already baptized.

I don't think it's in good taste to use this war to push a political agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
