Quote:

A scuffle broke out at the traditional site of Jesus's burial on Sunday, when Greek Orthodox and Armenian believers, who fiercely protect their hold over sections of the shrine, traded blows.

Police said a fight broke out after Armenian worshippers yanked a Greek Orthodox cleric away from a tomb in Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the traditional site of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.

Christians do not need atheists, militant Islam, terrorists, the media, the New Age, Freemasons, Jesuits or anybody else to undermine or attack Christianity. We are perfectly capable of doing it ourselves.

(not sure whether this should have gone here, or in the Religious Liberty forum)

Rather like how the Jews, Muslims and Christians bicker over Temple Mount. All very sad.

And not even Catholic vs Protestant, but followers of the same branch of Christianity - Greek and Armenian Christians are both Orthodox.
