==Protestant Polemics==
The difficulty with most of these sites is not that they are criticizing [[Orthodox Christianity]] as it is but basing their critiques on misconceptions of Orthodox doctrine and practice. Sometimes elements of Orthodox teaching can be recognized, but the way they are put together is often quite bizarre. [[Irenaeus of Lyons ]] wrote about how heretics [[heretic]]s took elements of the faith and rearranged them, so that what once was a mosaic of a king becomes an image of a dog (or something else).
One significant exception is [[Daniel Clendenin]], whom many Orthodox Christians respect for being much more thorough in his research. In that, he is relatively unique among modern critics of Orthodoxy.
