Benjamin, always a pleasure and thank you for acknowedlging Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Since you love philosophy so much, may I suggest trying the read "The Philokalia". This will give you some insight on the deeper ideals of the original and early Christians. Personally, I don't now "The Truth", I only know the Truth that works for me. I can't say that it is the correct truth for all humanity, but I know that I believe it and fully subscribe to it. I do know that if I believe in God, I certainly cannot say who He will or will not condemn (If anybody). Nor can I say that any other belief systems have it wrong and their followers will burn in hell. Why? Well, that's the sin of pride in my belief system and the reason that the Angel of Light was bounced out of Heaven. On a last note, I will take an open minded intelligent (read non-dogmatic) atheist over most Protestants any day. Peace!
