Can you respond to a single post with fact instead of insult? You aren't old enough to have learned the art yet. Being sanctimonious does not make friends or influence people.
Others choose the LCMS because it encourages reasoned doctrinal discourse - instead of dogmatic coercion.
Actually they are VERY dogmatic in their practice of religion. I found them to be VERY rigid. You don't question their dogma.
Evidently you're not as familiar with things Lutheran as you might like to think.
When did I state that I was? Other than you don't question their RULES.
And yet you still persist in it.
The LCMS encourages free discourse rooted in The Word - it does not practice dogmatic coercion.The former relying upon the power of the Holy Spirit in The Word to effect perception of His self-evident Truth; the latter being "Believe what we tell you or be burned at the Stake".The former being what the American Founders intended - the latter being what the STATE Church of England, generally DID.... or worse - which is why we have that whole "no unusual punishments" thingee in our constitution.'Course then you probably think it your kindly duty to remove someones entrails in the course of "saving" them.
