Who defends my Christian shrine? Jews and Moslem are tearing it down. We need to rescue this Holy place!

I am interested in defending Christians. I'm not aware that there actually are any inside that building.

How about paying attention to Christian reports about what is going on in Bethlemhem. (Or are you one of the sort of protestant who uses "Christian" to refer only to protestants who agree with you on some collection of hot-button doctrinal issues?) I have reports from sources in the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch (which I am privileged to serve in North America as a subdeacon--and, by the way that give us prior claim on the name "Christian"--it was in Antioch where the disciples were first called Christians) that Christian families are sheltering in the Church of the Nativity, along with the monks, nuns and priests (Orthodox, Latin and Armenian) who were caught there. I also understand from these sources that Christians have been shot in the Church by Israeli snipers and died for lack of medical care.
