Ah, Nowizard, if you only knew....but never mind. I must admit, I know a lot about Orthodoxy, unfortunately. It would have been better not to know, maybe I would have been more tolerant of all this. In general, of course, people pray to "intermediaries" in Orthodoxy, but the point is that pagan gods are also a kind of "intermediaries," and not God himself. So, the continuity is evident.
Anyway, I won't play with your nerves anymore:)
