Christianity, absolutely mind-boggling. Protestants, I see where you're coming from, the papacy is just awful. But, you're already doing idolatry by worshiping Jesus at all, the crucifix is an icon! You've already decided it's ok to worship the divine as manifest in the material realm, it seems arbitrary to says saints and rituals don't count now.
Martin Luther, this musty old bitch couldn't hermeneutic himself out a paper bag. Throwing your hands up and saying "well, humans are always going to be sinful, might as well do whatever, god probably doesn't even care if we try as long as he's got a special place in our hearts", well that makes things awful easy for you don't it! 'God will forgive whatever if you pray' is not a valid soteriological philosophy, just like farting at demons is not a valid method of exorcism. Take your flatulence and your Pauline civil obedience straight to hell, nerd.
