\\"The Christian history you quote... ...are the version that Protestants, Talmudists and Atheists promote. You have no case if you bring these pieces as \'evidence\'.\\"
Someone who\'s not Orthodox isn\'t really going to care, are they? To most non-Christians, Christianity tends to look pretty much the same all round. And this is just the history (which, we can\'t deny, is very true, very tragic, and did happen). But many people have a problem with the entire faith, which to their eyes can be interpreted as \\"fanatical\\" or \\"over-zealous.\\" Take the Old Testament. There are some harsh words and stories in there that seem quite extreme. We know the nuances of our faith and our teachings, but you can\'t expect some else to, can you?
Over all, my point is that Christian history is bloody, and most people\'s understanding of us is stained by that blood. Anyone who wanted to call us \\"fanatics\\" would have just as much ground as we do for call Muslims, or anyone else for that matter, \\"fanatics.\\" We should abstain from making any such judgments, but rather practice tolerance, respect, humility, and non-resistance.
