Region: Federation of Conservative Nations
I endorsed Fluvannia too, as we voted for them, and we are loyal to them in government, as long nobody pays me better than it.
The price Fluvannia paid me?
The ORDER on the region, and that worth more than Iridium.

Words of wisdom, who would've known someone could be so insightful? This is exactly what we needed during these hard times- a charismatic leader with power over his words, a man with so much wisdom he makes Solomon look like he has an IQ of 2. Damn, this is so amazing, why weren't you invited to speak at the State of the Union Address? This is an injustice, I will contact the White House immediately and tell them about you, a man with a tamed tongue and the wisdom of 100 gurus. This is a crime so low even the Democrats couldn't go there, how could they not let you speak? I'll go make you a handcrafted medal of gold with your wise words on it. Next election, contact me okay? I'll fund your campaign as Dominator of The American States. The FCN is eternally in your debt for these Holy Words you have spoken.

We need to rename the "Lutheran" church to the "German Catholic Church"
That will show those heretics that we don't worship Luther, and that we didn't start in 1517, but that we are One, Holy, Catholic Church, who's roots can be traced back to the Apostles.
I don't know why I'm ranting. I just get angry when Catholics claim we follow Luther and that our denomination was just an invention of Luther's imagination.

Can someone read my cruddy sci-fi story and tell me what they think?
Viridus, Gagium, Sille Wes Ande
I've officially cried myself to sleep before.
Yes it's related to the virus.
Long story.
Viridus, Gagium, The Sladerstan, Sille Wes Ande
Tell me.
New Waldensia, Viridus, Gagium, Sille Wes Ande
I mean every branch of Christianity can claim that as their roots. But I think it's safe to say that any Catholic who thinks Lutherans worship Luther is very ignorant.
New Waldensia, Viridus, Gagium, The Sladerstan, Sille Wes Ande
They say we follow the teachings of a man, and not Jesus.
Which is completely false. They also say that about the Calvinists, who I know are dreadfully wrong in their theology, but they certainly do not follow Calvin.

The whole Coronavirus lockdown is getting to me.
Although I disliked having to wake up so early for school, it was routine.
I like routine.
Now, you can't go anywhere.
Everything is closed, school, the gym, everything.
I also live with a 75+ Year-old Grandfather who's had a long-time history of sucking at respiratory activities.
He has oxygen machines running in his room, because of what I said above.
I worry that he's gonna catch it, and because I live a hot-spot for the coronavirus, the closest hospital will be out of the entire county.
I want him to stay.
I want things to return to normal.
I feel bad for my classmates that lost their homes in October.
Because I know that they don't live a rich area, they still probably don't have a place to turn to.
I want balance to be restored.
I want the lives of my classmates to go back to normal.
For as much as they get on my nerves, they've got it bad.
The $1,200 stimulus check is a joke compared to everywhere else.
I understand why y'all are playing New Horizons.

The problem with what he is saying is that I am a member of the Eastern Orthodox Catholic church and any more churches referring to themselves as Catholic would confuse everyone.

Catholics worship Mary prove me wrong
[spoiler]This is obviously sarcasm, but it does sometimes appear that way. I don't know how many houses I've passed by that had a Mary shrine somewhere in their yard[/spoiler]
Confederate Farmers, New Waldensia, Gagium, Fluvannia, Sille Wes Ande
I think the very oversimplified reason is that one must be particularly holy if one is chosen to be the Mother of God.
From Wikipedia: "Catholic teachings make clear that Mary is not considered divine and prayers to her are not answered by her, but rather by God through her intercession.[83] The four Catholic dogmas regarding Mary are: her status as Theotokos, or Mother of God; her perpetual virginity; her Immaculate Conception; and her bodily Assumption into heaven.[84][85][86]"
(should be noted that as a Greek term, Theotokos sees more usage among the Orthodox)

virgin mary
Gagium, The Sladerstan, Sille Wes Ande
She wasn't a virgin after Joseph ;)
New Waldensia, Gagium
You do realize that you have violated the prophesy of Isaiah which specifies a virgin shall conceive. Joseph was a just and honorable man, otherwise he would have been struck down by God.
Gagium, The Sladerstan
Read Matthew 1:24-25 again...
"but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus."
Emphasis mine. Mary was only virgin until after Jesus was born.
My original statement was that she didn't remain a virgin.
New Waldensia, Gagium
Incorrect, the gospels use until to designate events that didn't happen even after that.
Gagium
So if I said "I'm not gonna eat until after I take a shower", does that mean I'm never gonna eat again? Until means until, not never.

Didn't someone offer to make me a flag a few days ago?

Trying out the new flag done by Fluvannia. Personally think it's a great design. What do you guys think? Do you like my original one or this new beauty?

It looks good! It looks like the Angevin-Mongol Empire.

The original Greek is the source, the word used does not have the same definition as the English. Also, now can we trust you? The Lutherans literally dumped the Septuagint for the heavily modified masoretic.
Gagium, The Sladerstan
The Lutherans literally dumped most of the prophesies concerning the coming of the Christ.
Gagium, The Sladerstan
No, we dumped the ignorance of the west known as "premillenialism" in favor of the Biblical Amillenialism
Catholics dumped the original greek for the corrupt Vulgate.
Gagium
I thank you for listening to what i had to say, even if you disagree.
Gagium, Eldrado, The Sladerstan
Is this sarcasm, or legitimate thanks?
Gagium, Eldrado, Sille Wes Ande
I like this one, seems more colorful and brighter.
Gagium, Fluvannia, Eldrado, The Sladerstan, Sille Wes Ande
I thought I did... Let me check
Gagium, Eldrado, Sille Wes Ande
Why would i be sarcastic? There are many who either ignore the eastern churches or believe them to be identical to the Roman church, in spite of a thousand years of disagreement.
Gagium, Fluvannia, Eldrado, The Sladerstan
Oh for a second I thought you were Catholic.
I forgot you're Orthodox.

You don't understand, Brazilians have a a wicked CULTURE, it's beyond imagination to a non Brazilian, in most other countries people are wicked as any human being, but they do it SECRETLY and in DEFIANCE of the culture, in Brazil, there is a dangerous inversion, our culture don't have any notion of virtue, the VICES are considered virtue and of course the most basic needs of the flesh, trying to be a good person here is considered a VICE, you need to lie, you need to be "smart" and cheat, be opportunistic is considered virtue, to try to be a good person that is the ultimate defiance on our society, if you try to do it, people will suppose that you are a su**er or a liar.
There is notions against cheating, betraying, lying on most other culture, a lot of wickedness certainly happens, but when you do that in most other countries you are going AGAINST the culture, here you are on the hype, and it's not a decadence, it's the status quo since the beginning.
A nation of opportunists, criminal power seekers, and nothing more.

The protestant mistake about understanding catholicism is to make a confusion between the term "dulia" and "latria"
"dulia" means VENERATION, "latria" means WORSHIP.
https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05188b.htm
(Greek doulia; Latin servitus), a theological term signifying the honour paid to the saints, while latria means worship given to God alone, and hyperdulia the veneration offered to the Blessed Virgin Mary. St. Augustine (City of God X.2) distinguishes two kinds of servitus: "one which is due to men . . . which in Greek is called dulia; the other, latria, which is the service pertaining to the worship of God". St. Thomas (II-II:103:3) bases the distinction on the difference between God's supreme dominion and that which one man may exercise over another. Catholic theologians insist that the difference is one of kind and not merely of degree; dulia and latria being as far apart as are the creature and the Creator. Leibniz, though a Protestant, recognizes the "discrimen infinitum atque immensum between the honour which is due to God and that which is shown to the saints, the one being called by theologians, after Augustine's example, latria, the other dulia"; and he further declares that this difference should "not only be inculcated in the minds of hearers and learners, but should also be manifested as far as possible by outward signs" (Syst. theol., p. 184).
Even other protestants recognize that there is a lack of studying about this definition, and I don't blame them, the terms came from the greek, it's a tiny but complex definition problem to the point that even most of the catholic people can't defend themselves against the ordinary accusation of idolatry from flamewar seeking protestants.
There is a simple way to reach this without going to a linguistic book, go to a Catholic Church and ask to anybody praying to, for example St. Augustine, if St. Augustine is a deity, that person certainly will say that it's not.
And about saints.
https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04171a.htm
I recommend New Advent to understand Catholicism, it is the official Catholic Encyclopedia.

It's more than just Veneration in some Catholic circles. There is a movement that want to raise her to Co-redeemer and Co-mediatrix, and while it was dismissed by Pope John Paul II, there are still a number out there, that want her added to the Trinity.
Personally it is idol worship to want to elevate her to a such a position I don't think she would be impressed with people referring to her as the Queen in Heaven. She will be judged like the rest of us. She can't hear our prayers as she is not God and she is asleep waiting Judgement Day.
We must divide the FCN. North FCN will be for the God fearing Protestants. While South FCN can be for the rosary rattlers. To arms, to arms
Washingtonian Republic, New Waldensia, Gagium, The Sladerstan
And middle FCN will be for me, Gagium, and Viridus (because Lutherans are a bit of both) (not saying we don't fear God or that we are rosary rattlers, but that Lutheranism is, in some aspects, more catholic)
Also, I've heard a Catholic say "Jesus is the New Adam and Mary is the New Eve, because they both brought salvation to the world." Which is really quite heretical, considering that "... there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
