Try some more off the top of your head statements like that, they are pretty funny!

That's exactly what I thought; you are making it up as you go. Time to put up or shut up, buckwheat. Show us this "godless bible".
The Lutheran church today is but one denomination within the broader Protestant movement. At the time to which we are refering, they were essentially one and the same. The Protestant movement has fractured into many small pieces, but it remained a whole back then. Pretty basic stuff; "religion 101" if you will.
And what it with these constant charges of whining, ignorance, lack of critical thinking, etc. etc. ad nauseum that you feel so compelled to level against those who dissagree with you? Do you think this bolsters your position in some way? Are you able to partake in an adult conversation without the childish name calling?
There are folks on this forum from an incredibly broad range of backgrounds, interests, and expertise. We all learn something from one another and try, at least most of the time, to treat each other with respect. Do you even know what that means? We rib each other pretty hard sometimes, true, but your particular brand of nasty, mean-spirited attack is far different. I think you do not understand the difference; you are like the little kid that has been left out, and in your effort to join in, you are trying to be like the big kids. Your interpretation of how you perceive the big kids behaving but, in your immaturity, that interpretation takes on a childish quality not exhibited within the ranks you so desperately want to join. You are simply not witty enough to pull it off; almost everything you say misses the mark by at least a little bit, if not a country mile. It's fine to present your opinion and your interpretation of a topic, but presenting it as unquestioned fact, accompanied with the attacks, is simply poor form. Especially when that interpretation is wrong (as it is the vast majority of the time) and unsupported. There are folks here with the knowledge to help you learn something. You must first lean, however, to join the conversation at an adult level. That is your biggest hurdle. Good luck with it.
