@Grunkia Orthodox Christians don't worship icons, they venerate them. Here's a link explaining, the fourth point especially - please don't think I'm trying to preach, I'm just putting across our side of the argument: http://orthodoxinfo.com/general/icon_faq.aspx

@Spanionte You see, I could have said "I'm Orthodox, you offended me, so I'm banning you", but I didn't. If someone accuses Protestants of not being "real Christians" then argue that they are.

Silencing people who offend us doesn't solve anything. Free debate between ideas and beliefs, however, shows the pros and cons of each side of view so that people can come to a balanced and well-considered conclusion.
