You seem to forget that the "Bible Christians" believe in neither saints, nor relics. Their beliefs are primarily contained to the worship of the Bible (though they cannot agree on any translation) as taught to them by a variety of quasi-ordained ministers and televangelists (though the teachings of these men are often quite conflicting) and their salvation requires regular donations to such ministers and televangelists in order that these "learned" men might adorn themselves in even more jewelry and travel in fancy limousines and private aircraft. And isn't it funny that these "blessings" these people recieve for their "tithes" bear a striking resemblance to the sale of indulgences that the early Protestants were so opposed to (and that the Catholic Church later put a stop to)?

I haven't thought of it that way! But be careful, there will always be weeds among the wheat.

Horrible example of a Bible believing "protestant" but you are correct that those slimeballs are way off base...
