Since you are not an Orthodox Christian, then why are you posting on this forum?
I asked a perfectly reasonable question, and I received an answer, no thanks to you. There is no further need to keep posting on this thread.

That is because you do not understand the nuance of langauge, my dear.

I didn't write that I was not an Orthodox Christian; I wrote that I am not a good one (according to the "traditionalists) since I am GOA and believe in evolution

They say that I am bad news. They say "Stay Away."

(and i know we didnt come from monkeys supposedly, but rather a common ancestor, but something tells me Elder Paisios wouldnt have liked that too much better)
Tom,
I understand the nuance of language. What I don't understand is what happened to you since 2003 when your posts were focused more on discussing the Orthodox issues instead of making flippant remarks.
In Christ,
