to the subject on the Romanian culture and Christianity,
response to the accusation! I started to talk about my culture, without being challenged

Humans are indeed tools. We,´re dressed animals. Obeying codes within other codes. Religion is the mirror reflection of the human triumph. You atheist are a afraid to tell the truth of humanity. So you blame religion. Your proclaim religion as selfowned entity that should have nothing in common with humans..You blame religion like it was Frankenstein. And the good ol,´humans are all good. I,´m sorry, but religion represents us as human beings, reflects our nature. Beauty, uglyness, death, birth, life, art, peace, violence etc. Everything of human triumph lays in the essence of beings. And religion is part of that lifestream. Yet you deny that. Why? I dont know.

See, countries like Romania And Bulgaria. Christianity means everything to us. From language, to music from music to food, from food to code of society. Christanity still norture our soul, and shapes of who are. So you see, the interior triumph within Romanian soul is shaped by the lifestream from orthodox church.. That,´s why you western Atheists claim Romania to be a country with no values of cultural inclination..

Stop putting words in our mouths. Where do we claim that Romania does not have culture, you are the one that came riding his high horse and started the entire culture discussion .

It took me 5 seconds of googling this : Culture of Romania
After some clickety clicking of the links in that part I came to the conclusion that you have no clue what you are talking about.
You should be ashamed of yourself, telling such lies about your beloved country

Just a way to prove I am right and you are wrong by using above info:
During late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the major influences came from the Slavic peoples who migrated and settled in nearby Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine and eventually Poland and Russia
clickety click the link going to Slavic people and there clickety click the link religion which returns this information:
Slavs gradually adopted Christianity between 6th and 10th century, and consequently their old beliefs were suppressed.

The two main Christian denominations with Slavs are Eastern Orthodox and Greek or Roman Catholic, others are Sunni Muslim and a very small minority are Protestant. The delineations by nationality can be very sharp. In many Slavic ethnic groups the vast majority of religious people share the same religion, although many are atheist or agnostic; in the latter cases people still may traditionally associate themselves with a particular religion in a cultural and historical sense.

or perhaps the information on Romanian Mythology:
Other customs are presumably of pre-Christian pagan origin, like the Paparuda rain enchanting custom in the summer, or the masked folk theatre or Ursul (the bear) and Capra (the goat) in winter.

Edit- bolded the part I am actually replying to, forgot to edit the quote

"Where do we claim that Romania does not have culture,"

Here before me to say something about it.

I enjoy how Romania is somehow implicitly included in this "Christian Cultureâ„¢," and it's ethereal achievements. As though, simply by also being Christian, they somehow get Credit for what Western Europe did.

What are Romania's cultural achievements exactly? Aside from not being completely dominated by Russians and Turks? Because it seems to me that, to paraphrase a notable Brit, there is more culture in one small, private English library than in the entire Eastern Bloc

.

Independent Vision
Well... Vlad Ţepeş ruled over an area that is a part of current Romania. So... I guess the inspiration for Dracula and hence most of todays vampire stories is Romanias cultural contribution via history? *shrugs*

That's... about... it...

I'm sorry, but I can't help but notice that your example not only proves how barbaric Romania is (what with the impaling), but also nicely demonstrates my point about English literature.

You are my new favorite person.

EDIT: Best. Post Count. Ever.

"Stop putting words in our mouths"

Therefore two Romanian come in the forum to discuss in a foreign language, a topic so diverse and vast as culture, and they are attacked for their ethnic origin ( atheism / religion is an option, ethnic origin and skin color is not) by a moderator!... :facepalm:
But I'm not angry ....

"It took me 5 seconds of googling this"
I can not believe I read this ... it took you 5 minutes to understand a culture?
I heard of asians, who studied Romanian, only for understand our national poet, better, but ... 5 minutes

Maybe in half an hour you can understand the whole Eastern Europe. :facepalm:

"Just a way to prove I am right and you are wrong by using above info:

Amazing! does not matter that when Slavs became Christiansthe the ethnogenesis of the Romanian people was already completed and that Romanians were already Christians.

but if I stay and think ...
in the period after 1800 we have been influenced by French culture, and you know that French they are not original, they have been influenced by others, and those "other"were influenced in turn by the "other", so ...

In conclusion, I should burn my 9 academic volumes of the history of Romania, and "clickety click the link on google and clickety click the link ....
