Nauseating.
The only thing nauseating here is your attitude. St. Nikolai Velimirovich is truly a man of God who spent his whole life at His service in the most severe ascesticism, so excuse me for believing Him and not you, when he talks about God, because He has theology, which is a constant relationship with God. You are a mere "incurvatus in se" person who has shown no interest in religion and has no ability to sacrifice for anything. I am not telling you how to live your life, but if you want to dwell in your pond of sins do it, but do not talk bad of those who rise beyond their inferiority.
You are disgusting.
Severe asceticism is not a good reason to believe somebody, and that is not the definition of theology; theology is merely the study of religious belief. I know you don't want to hear this...again...but if he doesn't have evidence, there is no reason to believe him when he talks about god, suffering, or anything else of that nature. The sincerity of his belief, as conveyed through his ascetic practices, is still not a good reason to believe him. Until there is a good reason, he just sounds like a crazy person who has Stockholm Syndrome toward his imaginary friend.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
