Having attended the education processes, elementary through university with the Orthodox and having lived in neighborhoods with sizable Orthodox populations, I have experienced the sad state of the “Perpetual Victimization” adopted by these peoples. While some cradle Orthodox have escaped this disease the converts, especially from the “Bible Belt” churches, eagerly voice their inane opinions as if they personally experienced said atrocities.

Look, I or other living Christians were never involved with the Rape of Constantinople or 4th Crusade. Perhaps I should be constantly accusing the "Bible Types" of murdering my ancestors in Ireland for over 400 years or closer to home perhaps you need to be apologizing to me for the Know Nothing movements or the Nativist Party activities of the 19th and 20th centuries in this country.

I engaged in aerial atrocities in Viet Nam years ago for Protestant America but sorry, I did not engage in the 1054 or 1232 activities so frequently voiced by members of your church. You need to transcend these past events.
