Crisis proves a curse for Greece's Orthodox Church

The Orthodox Church of Greece has been married to the Greek State and has reaped many benefits in return. It is only natural for the Church's fortunes to go down as the State is going bankrupt.

One solution would be disestablishment: allow the Church to go its own way and live off collection plates like the smaller denominations do in Greece. Some of these smaller denominations, incidentally, are doing fine maintaining soup kitchens and other charitable works.

And while we are disestablishing the Church, can we please get rid of archaic laws on "proselytism"? We have become the laughing stock of all Europe.

I have no love for the church, I see xtianity as one of the worst tricks played upon the world and especially Europe and the occident in general. It bears much of the responsibility of the downfall of Greece and Rome and the loss of the vitality, imaginations, common sense, and creative energies of both those peoples and others. First they took away our real religion, replaced it with soul crushing unnatural garbage and lies designed only to profit the people who created it, now they want to see it weakened til it fades into oblivion. Huch as I've come to know the church for the mostly harmful entity it is and has been, I dont know that it'd be a very good thing to weaken the black robed parasites just now either. Sad as it is, it's one of the few unifying factors the Greek people have at the moment despite the fact it's proven all but useless in that regard.

Again, recall those words Kissinger allegedly said in 1974:"The Greek people are anarchic and difficult to tame. For this reason we must strike deep into their cultural roots: Perhaps then we can force them to conform. I mean, of course, to strike at their language, their religion, their cultural and historical reserves, so that we can neutralize their ability to develop, to distinguish themselves, or to prevail; thereby removing them as an obstacle to our strategically vital plans in the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East."

As mentioned, whether one wants to accept he said it or not, or whether he admits it or not, is irrelevant. In the past 30+ years(especially) this is precisely what has taken place, and Kissinger does indeed belong to groups which have malevolent designs on Greece. Greek Orthodoxy has weathered this period without many major setbacks until now, which presents an unprecedented opportunity for the church to be weakened. BTW i do believe in a separation of church and state 100% all the same, especially in Greece, ASAP, although surely there must be a constructive way in which to make it happen.

The debt issue altogether is a scam, it's important for people to realize this. It's an issue of the bankers and some of their useful idiots denying Greece the opportunity to develop her own unexploited resources, and using this phantom of debt and the bogus crisis as a way to grab much of it for themselves and impose crippling policies in line with their program upon Greece that only serve to purposely harm the country and its people.

Some links on the subject of Greece's unexploited Oil, Gold, Uranium, Osmium, Radon, Nickel and others(just a few of many such link btw). Greece should be one of the richest countries, perhaps even the richest, in Europe if only her govt and people had the guts to do whatever it took to ensure they start exploiting their own resources...

Another link on the subject though mostly opinion but nonetheless interesting:

Hellas' proven and potential resources which lay largely unexploited is one of the main reasons for the treatment Greece has been singled out for and is receiving today(dont forget, plenty of countries owe far more money that Greece, and in the past Greece has defaulted on more than one occasion. Turkey even moreso). Apparently this "crisis" coincides precisely at a time an agreement which forbade Greece from developing these resources comes to and end, by the way. Its these questions that to me seem most important to ask and have answered, and are the most newsworthy yet receives precious little coverage and never in the proper context(doing so would further expose the "crisis" for farce that it is).

I submit to you that a dynamic, self-reliant, vigorous and wealthy and therefore potentially influential Greek state is something which the international bankers(or, put simply, Rothschilds et. al.) cannot easily stomach.

But it's far more difficult to see Greece and her people have to stomach this perpetual injustice. There's still time to make a difference, still time to claim Greece's rightful place in the world and turn things around for the better. Developing a mere fraction of Greece's resources would see Greece return to profitability in a surprisingly short time. Greeks need to stand up for themselves and stop accepting that which is unacceptable... An equitable solution is urgently needed for the development of those resources and therein lies the key to a better future for Greece.
