Because I assumed that the goal of your argument was really to malign all Lutherans, despite the use of "some". In other words: see, because some did this, the whole thing is bad. Isn't that the usual focus of your arguments?
Your arguments don't seem to have any appreciation of Protestantism, and yet those arguments take place in a context of religious toleration established by American Protestants. I really don't see any record of toleration like this in the Orthodox world, despite my appreciation of much of Orthodox theology.

Where did I even mention Lutherans? You are imagining quite a bit here.
“In other words: see, because some did this, the whole thing is bad. Isn’t that the usual focus of your arguments?”
No. Again, you are imagining quite a bit here.
“Your arguments don’t seem to have any appreciation of Protestantism, and yet those arguments take place in a context of religious toleration established by American Protestants.”
I have no idea of what you are talking about. What does any of that have to do with “German Christians” idolizing Hitler? Nothing.
“I really don’t see any record of toleration like this in the Orthodox world, despite my appreciation of much of Orthodox theology.”
Again, what does any of that have to do with “German Christians” and their idolizing of Hitler?
