⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀   For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀  They are free from common human burdens; they are not plagued by human ills.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀    Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
⠀⠀⠀⠀       From their callous hearts comes iniquity ; their evil imaginations have no limits.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀      They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
⠀⠀⠀        Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀      Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  They say, “How would God know? Does the Most High know anything?”
⠀⠀⠀   This is what the wicked are like— always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.
⠀⠀⠀    Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All day long I have been afflicted, and every morning brings new punishments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀     If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀     When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀      till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀     Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀        They are like a dream when one awakes; when you arise, Lord,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀      you will despise them as fantasies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀    When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀      I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀    Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀    You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀   Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
       My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀   Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
⠀⠀   But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge;
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀       I will tell of all your deeds.

You may have seen the Steam Comment trolls, Ezekiel2&3 and WatchmenWakeUpOnYT, due to their repeated spam, I will be refuting their unoriginal unfunny iFunny copypasta.
These are common misconceptions and misinterpretations of our beliefs and practices, and I'm happy to address them from an Orthodox perspective.

You accuse us of worshipping and praying to Mary, citing Jeremiah 7, 44, and Matthew 6:8-9. However, this is a misunderstanding of our veneration of the Theotokos. We do not worship Mary as God, but we venerate her as the Mother of God (Theotokos), the most blessed of all women. We ask for her intercessions, just as we ask for the prayers of other saints. This is not idolatry, but a recognition of her unique role in salvation history. The cited passages speak against worshipping other gods, not venerating the saints.

You accuse us of making graven images and statues, citing Hosea 2:2, Isaiah 44, Deuteronomy 5:8, and Acts 17:29. However, this is a misunderstanding of our use of icons. We do not worship icons as idols, but we venerate them as windows to the divine. Icons are not mere works of art, but they are visual representations of Christ, the Theotokos, and the saints, which help us to focus our minds and hearts on God. The cited passages speak against worshipping idols, not venerating icons.

You accuse us of pagan idolatry, citing Deuteronomy 12:30-32, Deuteronomy 16:21-22, and Jeremiah 10:1-5. However, this is a misunderstanding of our traditions and practices. While some of the traditions you mentioned may have pagan origins, we have sanctified them and transformed them to commemorate the events of Christ's life, death, and resurrection. For example, Christmas is the celebration of Christ's birth, and Easter is the celebration of His resurrection. We do not worship the trees, the decorations, or the rabbits, but we use them as symbols of our faith. The cited passages speak against worshipping pagan gods, not Christian traditions.

You accuse us of removing books from the Bible, citing Jude 1:14-15. This is a misunderstanding of the history of the biblical canon. The Orthodox Church has always used the Septuagint, which includes the Deuterocanonical books (also known as the Apocrypha). These books were not removed, but were part of the canon from the beginning. The passage from Jude refers to a book that is not part of the canonical scriptures.

You accuse us of changing the Saturday Sabbath to Sunday, citing Exodus 31:14-17 and Matthew 4:4. This is a misunderstanding of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was a shadow of the greater rest that Christ has given us through His resurrection. The early Christian Church, under the guidance of the Apostles, transitioned from observing the Sabbath on Saturday to observing the Lord's Day on Sunday, in commemoration of Christ's victory over death. The cited passages speak about the importance of the Sabbath, not the abolishment of Sunday.

You accuse us of eating unclean animals, citing Isaiah 65:2-6 and Isaiah 66:16-17. This is a misunderstanding of the New Covenant. In the New Testament, all foods are considered clean (1 Timothy 4:4-5, Mark 7:19). The cited passages speak about the consequences of disobedience, not the prohibition of specific foods.

In conclusion, Ezekiel2&3 and WatchmenWakeUpOnYT, I hope that this response has clarified your misunderstandings of Orthodoxy and Catholicism. Your accusations are based on a lack of knowledge and a misinterpretation of our beliefs and practices. I encourage you to seek a deeper understanding of our faith and to approach these matters with humility and respect. May God bless you and guide you on your spiritual journey.
