Sect Offenders

There are as many factions in the Eastern church as the eastern 'deed there are so many schisms, factions, cults, fronts, and 'initiatives' that when one faction of one religious schism of one denomination of one sect confronts another the reeediculousness ensues. Neither party has any real what the other represents, which fact inflames, rather than mutes, the ferocity of their arguments and encourages 'draconian' * punishments heretics are threatened with.

The smaller the differences between contending sects the greater the animosity over dogma; each polemicist perceives in their mirrored opposite – a ravening illogical beast.

*Lit. 'Of the Dragon' Draco as an Athenian law maker famed for the severity of his laws.

"There will be at sometime a perfection of the good, when the destruction of evil; the one will be the Highest, and the other will be no more. And if we think that that this is to be hoped for in this mortal state, we are deceived. For it shall be then, when death shall not be; and it shall be there, where shall be life eternal. For in that world, and in that kingdom, there shall be the highest good, no evil; when there shall be and where there shall be, highest love of wisdom, no labor of continuance."

St Augustine
