Mr. Oriel,

I thought you’re gone for good. Here you are again, alive and kicking, full of fire and brimstone getting out the hole you’re holed in naked like a baby’s butt.

Your post is a jumble. Remember what I told you weeks ago that crossing swords with you is like talking to a wall and if you recall I dropped it because there was nothing can be gained out of it? And here, you insisted jumping in the cauldron which you did not know you’ll get burned. But, I would dignify such intrusion why it’s necessary to end this thing once and for all.

To be in a position of strength especially in this Forum is to start with the truth which pitifully you didn’t do. Your words,” Bethlehem, PA is not a little Moravian town like you want us to believe. It is a city in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania”. You got your facts wrong.

Before I start, Bethlehem is a town not a city. Bethlehem is also a full blooded American town not an eastern European town.

You know why I called it “Moravian town”, Mr. Oriel? In 1741, a Protestant religious order Unity of the Brethren came to America and broke ground in the Lehigh River valley. This religious sect was founded in 1457 by John Hus, praecurrere to Luther’s at Wittenberg. It was in 1742 when their patron saint Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf of Saxony, Germany arrived in that settlement and named it….Bethlehem… in honor of Jesus, it was Christmas. Bethlehem evolved as the Christmas town of America.

These immigrants to America came from that part of Eastern Europe called Moravia which is now a part we now call the present Czech Republic. They were the MORAVIANS who settled in that frontier part of America in her early stages. That’s why I called it that Moravian town like what everybody calls Salt Lake City, Utah, that Mormon city in the Wasatch or Lancaster, Pennsylvania, that Amish county or Chicago…Windy City by the Lake.

You don’t know America, Mr. Oriel.
