*explaining Lent to an American* imagine 40 days without a burger

One of my favourite parts of Orthodox theology is that, not only does it say "no, non-Christians are not categorically damned" it follows that up with "and no, we're not citing a prooftext from the Scriptures or the Fathers for that, the only evidence we need for this is that God is good and loves mankind."

i've said it before and i will continue to say it religion and God and life are so so so much bigger and more astonishingly beautiful than fundamentalism will ever allow you to see and once you and your God can get yourselves out of those tiny pathetic boxes they try to fit the two of you into you can find more genuine joy and meaning in religion and spirituality than you ever thought possible. if you want. i promise
