, I still love Orthodoxy; I just no longer believe it. There is no struggle, just questions.

Like so many in "the church" that love the church, and the tradition more than Christ, and look to the church and tradition more than to Christ.. ..

How does one love a false religion? A false tradition? How does one love lies?

I love what Orthodoxy teaches, as an idea towards humanity. What's there not to love? Is certainly stands in stark contrast to the hateful Calvinist teaching of babies in hell and some divine "Love" creating human beings destined to hell.

How does one love a false religion?

Do you love only what is true? You don't have to believe something true to love it. I always liked Greek mythology without ever believing any of it. Are novels lies? Do you hate fiction because it's not true?

Aesthetics and richness of human creativity can be appreciated and enjoyed without worshiping it.

How does one love lies?

Are they lies of just honest (if mistaken) beliefs?
