Unfortunately, Your partisanship is something you've been putting out there to the rest of us for some time now, especially in your attempts to push other views (particularly Protestantism) under the bus whenever you have the opportunity. No one's really said anything about this, but I don't think I'm alone in noticing it. I always took the stance that Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholics, Protestants, and other orthodox Christians shared more in common than not, and that, especially in discussions with unbelievers we should form a sort of united front. I mean, we're obviously not all going to agree on the same doctrine and approaches to scripture, and if we find one view more convincing than another, we should definitely be free to voice that, but (and I hate to say this), I've been noticing...I don't know...what seems to me...a sort of hostility or a hard line approach towards other orthodox views when they don't align with your own. Maybe that's not how you mean to come across, but it's something I've definitely picked up on. I don't think that approach is necessary. I think we can say that our view is the more robust one without making other views seem totally beneath us. I know for my part, even though I generally align with the Protestant approach, I have a lot to learn from Eastern Orthodoxy (and Roman Catholicism).
But maybe I am the only one who has been perceiving things this way. If so, then maybe I'm out of line here. I don't know.
