And yet the word "orthodox" in Orthodox Church means "true Church" as in actual or real Christians. So how does one decide between universal and true?
I remember listening to Francis Coppola's commentary on the "Dracula" DVD where he said something like how Orthodox Christianity is more true and closer to Jesus and early Christians.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
