Re: Political cartoons and memes
Better than trading in reductionist and non-Biblical terminology like "cradle vs. convert" is actually picking up your cross and following Christ. And to do so, yes, you must be Orthodox.
But if you do use that terminology, I can't help but notice that the cradles generally come to church more rarely, and later into a Divine Liturgy, than converts (as if that comes with the territory), always missing Orthros and blowing off Vespers.

It's not about who is a convert and who was baptised as an infant. It is about that segment of the population who rarely show up and view religion as their “culture.”
The Greek who shows up at the patriarchal Greek club + parish combo a few times per year and then wants to teach the xenos about how Orthodox and Roman Catholics have the same religion only the Council moved the papacy to Constantinople (actual experience off the top of my head) is what this guy is poking fun at. You could find enough examples in any historically Orthodox culture.
I found it relevant because we have all surely experienced those people.
