If anybody wants to play that game, I am quite willing to slam the ball in the other direction.

Great, you take offense to a Roman Catholic's posting by insulting Eastern Orthodoxy. Take some time to wipe the egg off your face.

I assumed the poster was Orthodox. But then neither am I Lutheran. I could just as easily have brought out insulting remarks about the Roman church or any other denomination.

This article for this thread is about Lutherans going back to the roots of their faith. The poster immediately wanted to malign Lutherans by making a link between German Christians and Nazism. My purpose was to use fallacies so that the poster would come to see his fallacies. He has stopped using fallasies, and therefore my method comes to an end as well.

If there had been an article about Orthodox making some trip to a monastery in Russia or Serbia, and somebody immediately make a connection between the Orthodox church and Communism, I would have used the same type of fallacies for some other denomination. If you were offended, then you had the correct response. Fallacies are not very convincing in arguments. That is my point.
