* DistinctionWithoutADifference: The video "Differences Between Orthodox and Catholics" includes some examples:
** The Assumption of Mary is a dogma in the Catholic Church but not the Orthodox Church... "but everyone believes in it".
** Catholics believe in Purgatory while the Orthodox do not... but a lot of Orthodox Christians believe in Aerial Toll-Houses, which teaches that the soul of the deceased Christian must pass through some toll-houses staffed by demons. These demons try to damn the soul on account of his sins, while the angels escorting the soul argue in favor of his righteousness. Whether the Christian is taken to Heaven or Hell depends on the state of his soul at death and the intercessory prayers of the living.
** Catholics don't allow divorce, only annulments. Orthodox don't allow divorce... "and then they do".

* {{Necromancer}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuvoATZBbP8 "Of Saints and Necromancers"]], Bojan explains how praying to saints is different from this trope.

Whether the Christian is taken to Heaven or sent to Hell depends on the state of his soul at death and the intercessory prayers of the living.

* AwfulWeddedLife: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HNr43ObrFk "Differences Between Orthodox and Catholics"]], Bojan states that Orthodox priests are miserable because they are married and contrasts this with Catholic priests (and Orthodox monks), who he states are miserable because they are celibate.

* DistinctionWithoutADifference: The video "Differences Between Orthodox and Catholics" includes some examples of this.
** The Assumption of Mary is a dogma in the Roman Catholic Church but not the Orthodox Church ... "but everyone believes in it".
** Catholics believe in purgatory and Orthodox do not ... but a lot of Orthodox still believe in the Toll Houses which is a worse version of purgatory.
** Catholics don't allow divorce, only annulments. Orthodox don't allow divorce ... "and then they do".
* BerserkButton: Claiming that unbaptized children don't go to Heaven. In the video where he describes his anger at the Russian Orthodox Church adopting this stance, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgGEo4B2HcQ "Throwing Children into Hell"]], he opens by admitting that he is angry and cutting the happy music. He refers to George Yuri Maximov, the priest behind the changes, as "The Demon", "an Imbecile", and "The Hell Mouth", and portrayed that official as having a demon whispering into his ear. He the video by stating that, as far as he's concerned, people who believe that unbaptized children are barred from Heaven can go to Hell themselves.

** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgldubEKTN4 "Sacrificing Isaac: Was Abraham Insane?"]], if God demanded human sacrifice then he would be "a cosmic leach that feeds off the world he has made".

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Bojan considers abortion a sin, in accordance with the tenets of his church.
* HerrDoktor: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn-HKWiJidQ "Wrath of God: Why God Doesn't Just Forgive?"]], Bojan uses two hospitals - one good and one bad - as a metaphor for why God felt the need to suffer and die to forgive mankind's sins. The doctor at the good hospital is one - complete with thick accent, smoking pipe, skull on his desk, and EinsteinHair.

* InsultToRocks: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2-Gh_uvorw "My Thoughts on Jehovah's Witnesses"]], Bojan mentions that he's heard people equate Jehovah's Witnesses with Arians. He went on that he considers this comparison unfair to Arians.

* KarmaHoudini: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1XXvaBrBGU&t=28s My Essential Thoughts]]", Bojan states that if God doesn't exist then every villain who isn't punished in life becomes this.

* MoralGuardians: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvvIey6KcRo "Is D&D Satanic?"]], Bojan gives his two cents on ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' and the [[EveryoneIsSatanInHell controversy it gained in Christian circles]]. He argues that D&D isn't satanic at all, and that the antics of moral guardians ended up getting rid of crosses, [[{{Irony}} one of the explicitly Christian parts of the game]]. D&D's magic system, Bojan points out, is very different from actual occult practices and the Bible might actually have a worse effect (since the [[Literature/BooksOfSamuel Witch of Endor]]'s sorcery actually works).
* {{Pride}}: Bojan considers this to be a more dangerous sin than lust, because it's harder for a prideful person to feel remorseful.

** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA6VQJiT7a4 "The Gloater of Notre Dame"]], Bojan at one point states that some non-orthodox beliefs are closer to the truth than others. On his 'Bar O' Orthodoxy', he places Herbalife closer to the evil half of the bar, Borborites at the farthest end of the evil half, and Scientology just has an arrow pointing past the end of the evil half of the bar.

* TrainingFromHell: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NyU7azbH3M "St. John of Damascus"]], St. John's spiritual father subjects him to this. He forbid John from doing anything of his free will, from pondering anything worldly, or from writing (among other things). He was so hard on St. John that the Mother of God herself visited him just to tell him to go easier on John.

* WhatTheHellHero: Another youtuber made a video in response to Bojan's video criticizing atheism. Though he avoids saying the youtuber's name, he did criticize that youtuber in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1XXvaBrBGU&t=28s My Essential Thoughts]]", with one of the biggest complaints being that the other youtuber intentionally removed a disclaimer asking his followers not to harass other channels.

* AlasPoorScrappy: In the episode "I Hate Bishop Soandsoimus", the first half of the episode features Bojan defending Orthodox Bishops by describing all the difficulties they have to deal with. This is despite Bojan being a harsh critic of his denomination's Bishops.

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Bojan considers abortion a sin, in accordance with the tenants of his church.

* RaisedCatholic: An orthodox example in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKqB2y5xc0 "Bad Reasons to Convert and Stay Orthodox"]], Bojan calls these parishioners "flotsam" and describes them as people who go to Church because it's what they were raised to do rather than due to genuine faith.

* MessianicArchetype: {{Parodied}} and {{Exaggerated}} in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zrtRYx8wEk "When Christians Write Fiction"]]. In it, a hero character named [[MeaningfulName Ichthys]] is handed over to [[SatanicArchetype a warlock]] who ties the hero to [[CrucifiedHeroShot a suspiciously cross-shaped torture device]], only for the "Redemption Protocol" to malfunction, killing the warlock with Ichthys. Three days later, Ichthys's friends break into the chamber, only to find Ichthys [[BackFromTheDead still alive]] ... [[spoiler: "for he was God in the flesh, who died for our sins"]]
