So all Protestants are as willfully ignorant as Obama now?

Most Protestants are willfully ignorant whenever it's convenient for them.  Whether it's to get votes, make a buck, or whatever, when an interpretation is inconvenient, it changes.

And why not? Being free to consider oneself Christian based on ones' own interpretation of Scripture and nothing else is exactly the freedom Protestant and Protestant derived faith is all about. Protestants base their interpretation on what they personally discern and whenever someone disagrees with them they dismiss it as the other person lacking discernment or not being filled with the Holy Spirit.

That's how you have Methodist churches that ordain queers and Methodist churches that stand fast against the ordination of queers both claiming to believe in the same doctrines and both claiming to be led by the Holy Spirit. Every Protestant has their own truth which others may or may not agree with just like the fascists in the King Barry crowd, and everyone says that they're in touch with the Holy Spirit and know they're right.

The church is invisible, the membership roles are invisible, and by your fruits ye shall know them. Ordaining fruits is proof that God is love, or that's what those who agree with King Barry say and then quote Scripture about how without love everything else is worthless. Very much based on their own interpretation of Scripture as they're led by whatever spirit they listen to, and therefore very Protestant.
