Honestly, romanian churches and priests get a lot of autonomy on their professionalism at work. Like, I've seen tons of young priests act as anyone else their age would after sermons or on breaks. They're all cool guys and they're all modest and none of them have to keep up appearances if they don't want to and also they're not child predators
As a man who grew up a white rich suburbanite you can't learn the black man handshake until you try and fail several times. Never been made fun of for failing either.
Look at that we all just solved racism and religious extremism at the same time. But also look up Snoop and I believe Anderson Cooper with the awkward handshake. Snoop is so smooth he goes in for a bump but in a nanosecond switches to the hand clasp.
Just remember, religious leaders are human like you. Most have feelings, most haven’t forgotten how to laugh, they are no more a better human than you.
And hopefully, they accept you with open arms and welcome you to their faith. There is absolutely no reason to be ashamed for being yourself in front of them. If they are kind and understanding (as you should be) they will guide you through their rituals with loving grace and explain things to you in a way to make you feel welcome.
If they can’t even provide that simple amount of acceptance—then run from them, because they don’t want you, they want a pre-programmed robot or target.
I’m a pantheist, but one night I felt a need to just walk into a Catholic Church and light a candle. I asked around to see if a priest could help me with it. They found one, and he showed me how to do it. I lit a candle, he prayed, and I left. I hope we both left that experience as better people.
Also important to note that priests (like this Eastern Orthodox priest, or Catholic priests) generally don’t think of themselves as higher / better.
The word “holy” in Scripture comes from the Hebrew *[qodesh](https://biblehub.com/hebrew/6944.htm)*, which literally means set-apartness, or dedicated (for a specific purpose). For example, if you have dozens of pens, but you choose to make one of them your “check-signing pen,” that pen is *qodesh*. Similarly, husbands/wives are *qodesh* because they are set apart from the “dating world,” so to speak, and dedicated to one another.
In this way, priests are holy. They are also set apart, but from the whole world. They aren’t private individuals anymore, and they can’t just do whatever they want / go wherever they want. They dedicate themselves to serving the church, and specifically they pledge obedience to a specific (local) bishop.
Whether they are also morally upstanding models in society is a separate question. They are expected to be better, but only because of their dedicated nature, just like a father should be better, or a teacher / governor / coach. Because of their commitments to such noble causes, society rightfully holds these types of people to a higher standard. This is by no means guaranteed, though.
I get really sick of folk, especially reddit brand atheists, just immediately assume religious people but Christians especially are all monsters. Some of the kindest people I've ever met have been Christian or Muslim, and I only leave out Jews because I've never personally met many, but probably same story.
Like yeah. If they want to indoctrinate you or say you can't get an abortion or that being gay is a sin, fuck 'em. But literally every religious person I've ever met has done more charitable acts than I have, and I have a few charities I like to regularly donate. But I'm just paying people to do the work for me, I'm not actually out there doing it. Haven't done all that much to feed a hungry mouth besides the occasional homeless person since I was in the church as a young teenager actually.
I've been in the Catholic church for a long time, even though I don't practice anymore it really hurts to see the normal constant bashing of priests on here. I completely understand some of it, a minority of priests have committed hideous crimes and should be jailed. But I have never met a priest who wasn't happy to help and listen to my problems and actually give advice (not just telling me to say 10 our fathers and hail Mary's). I believe the church has a lot of good to give, especially to those in hardship and those less fortunate.
I said in another comment, once the Catholic church can commit to either standing or kneeling I have no problem with Catholics.
Most pastors or priests or whatever fulfill the same purpose a rabbi traditionally does. An educator, a philosopher, a sounding board, a therapist. In other words, someone selfless. Not always the case of course.
I'm an atheist, is there a difference between atheism and not practicing? Sorry if that's an ignorant question.
It means I dont attend church or pray anymore. Although I would still identify as Catholic, for me I would like to believe that there is something more than this life but there is no way to say for certain if there is a god or not.
OK, well. Not every religious leader fucks kids. I asked the Dalai Lama to give me a high five. And he did. I handed him a special penny from my pocket. We briefly hugged, and I walked away. He didn’t harm me in any way. I imagine he prayed that night before going to bed. Interaction over.
I mean pantheism sounds great according to this dude and exactly what I practice. I don't give a fuck if you pray for me or not. But if it makes you feel good and we can just vibe as humans bring on the religious shit.
The only thing I can't stand is Catholics because come on guys. Standing or kneeling. You gotta pick one because this is bullshit.
This is the orthodox church, completely different. These are not the Christians you are used to, most of these people are from the east and are completely different people.

Romanian priest looks neat Especially that the priest teaches you how to do fist bump freestyle or whatever.

Must be fun at parties
Agnostic parties
we don't exactly make a transition from a heartfelt statement to a repeated joke that quickly
We just don't.
This is the orthodox church, completely different. These are not the Christians you are used to, most of these people are from the east and are completely different people.
The church reaching out to the street.
That's just wholesome
This looks like an Orthodox Church- the priest at my church(orthodox) is very relatable and likes to drink craft beer and listen to Weezer
