The world's best educated Jesus denial advocate

Sorry bb but your anti-papist memes won't work on me yet because I still might decide on Orthodoxy instead.

Anyways, theologically speaking I think all the prot denominations are fundamentally flawed

Lutherans are the ones I respect the most but I think that even without theological arguments it's pretty clear that protestants don't really have a catholic (universal) and orthodox church. A great number are obviously heretical - the ones performing gay marriages, etc.; so you can't just say that Lutherans are right or Baptists are right, but that the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod or American Baptist Churches USA, or whatever, are right - but then in 200 years those will have inevitably splintered into 700 more churches because of people fighting about robosexual s or some shit.

Say what you will about the Catholic Church in practice, but at least in theory it actually does live up to its name - anywhere you are in the world, you can walk into a Catholic church and people are supposed to be teaching the same ideas, all in communion with every other Catholic church in the world.

Then when it comes to theology, I think that the easiest and most important point is that Sola Scriptura is incorrect. Jesus was preaching for years and only a tiny portion of what he said during that time was recorded - it might have been the most important portion, but it was still only a portion. Then on top of that there are probably hundreds of things written by the apostles that have been lost over time, but that live on in tradition. The Holy Spirit may have ensured that the Bible contains everything that's critical for salvation, but tradition is still important.

On top of that, there are things like this from this Baptist website

The Scriptures as the only and all-sufficient rule of both faith and practice. This stands in contrast to other historic criteria such as religious tradition, ecclesiastical authority, creeds, church councils, rationalism and modern religious irrationalism which stresses experience and emotionalism.

This states that church councils are inferior to scripture, and yet those councils are exactly what decided what scripture is - without those councils, how can you exclude the Gospel of Judas or all the other weird gnostic texts?

Thanks for attending my Ted talk
