First up: FreeBSD is NOT a Linux distribution, and secondly, is NetBSD so small that it is nowhere to be found? Berkeley software distribution ≠ Linux (or gnu+Linux, which is btw not true for all distros.)

I do not consider those churches to be Christian. Their theology is significantly removed from orthoxy that it's unrecognizable. But even still, as with WSL, you can find some Christianity in there if you work really hard to find it.

Exhibit 9370 supporting officially renaming the "no true Scotsman" logical fallacy to "no true Christian"

I guess. But it feels very different from Judaism as best as I can tell. And Zoroastrianism is still seperate from the big 3 monotheistic religions.

The guy is really just not right about that.
There was a lot of cultural mixing going around back in the early iron age, but Judaism borrowed much more from the Egyptians, Babylonians, and the Greeks than they did the Persians. And it also has a lot of very unique features as well.

Yes there was also cultural exchange with the Persians that found it's way into Judaism, but it's just not correct to say it's a copy.

If only Christians centuries ago agreed on a basic statement that could define what is orthodox Christianity...

Orthodox is Slackware because it's the oldest Christian denomination and changes very slowly.

Wait... Orthodox is the oldest? The Catholic rhetoric is that they are the oldest denomination. I feel bamboozled!

Orthodox

I'm sure the Catholics would disagree with me, and that's fine with me. But personally I would say the Orthodox are the oldest continuous movement of Christianity. Not only do they historically beat out the Romans by a few decades, but also they have maintained a far more consistent liturgy over the millennia. The Catholics have had a a good handful of major liturgical changes that I would say constitute a few major breaks in historical consistency.

That's not a criticism from me. I'm Anglican.

To stay consistent with the running joke of the meme, heresies would be forks that don't work and I wouldn't recommend for anyone to use.

Like WSL being prosperity gospel.

I really thought more people in this group would get that joke.

Lemmd are often too literal. The meme makes perfect sense

Orthodox

The Orthodox communion is having a bit of a revival right now. Which happens on occasion for them, because they are really misunderstood in the West.

For example, in the 2000s they had a brief boom period where "new-agey" type people were attracted to the mystical aspects of the church. I think that boom was short lived because those people really just wanted spiritual consumerism, and, as far as Christian denominations go, Orthodoxy is hard work. It's not for beginners. If you aren't born into it then it's really hard to break in. (By my understanding is that if you do the hard work the community and spiritual benefits are really meaningful.)

Unfortunately, today their current boom (if it's still going on, this information is a few years old now) is coming from Proud boys-type people. They were interested it it because it's seen as adequately homophobic and sexist for them. My guess is that their interest was ultimately short lived as well because they aren't going to be interested in doing the work any more than the Live-Laugh-Love crowd was.
