.....that the only way for one to achieve salvation in this life is to throw away the cigarettes, whiskey, and wild wild women....and to invest into a quality hair shirt, made in Lebanon preferably, sell everything you have, embrace suffering and be prepared to be spit on, beaten on, and even killed for the Faith.
It always amazes me that so-called traditional Orthodox Christians smoke cigarettes. I know it's an addiction, but then again, so is being a freemason and an ecumenist. Break the habit. Go to Sinai. Wear a hair shirt. Make komboskinis. That's my plan....
