"the words of the prayer are fine" 2 seconds later "they're empty". with all love id suggest reading read st. Gregory palamas "The Triads In Defense of Those Who Practice Sacred Quietude" translated by Fr. Peter A. Chamberas, this completely rebuttals everything from your western mindset. one of St Gregory's greatest critique of how the west views the Theology, Scripture, Tradition and philosophy is that it eventually leads to mass atheism, which is exactly what happened in the west. God way does lead to atheism, yours does, historically. dont take this as an attack on you, take this as a moment to actually understand a worldview that you're talking about.
@@truthdefenders- by definition the orthodox Church is not pagan, I doubt you've read much on jewish and early Christian spirituality, since you throw around the word pagan I suggest you read the book "Against the Protestant Gnostics" by Philip J. Lee; also I suggest learn your own history thus read "Rock and Sand" by Fr. Josiah Trenham

Empty in the vanity of how those pagans chant them.
