As much as we need oxygen to breathe, one can be intoxicated by it in excess; as much as water quenches thirst, there is a limit to which we can drink it before we begin to gag and drown on it.
Protestant bible thumpers are like overzealous mothers who force-feed their children whether they are hungry or not, whether they have already eaten or not, whether they need it or not.
And, frankly, jibberish to me is the indiscriminate (ab)use and blasphemy of using the Lord's name in vain every time some self-rigtheous, self-styled Christian decides to defend his or her personal opinion as the revelation of the Holy Spirit.
Do you have kids, Kosta? I can't say that I've ever had to "force-feed" mine. I'm fortunate that they eat what I cook for them. On occasion, they even say thank you.

You're comparing Scripture to drowning? Just the opposite...
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD." -- Jonah 2:2-9"And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
...personal opinion as the revelation of the Holy Spirit.
Certainly we're supposed to try the spirits according to Scripture to make sure they come from God. But you appear to believe that the Holy Spirit actually doesn't do much of anything in this life. What do you think this verse means?
"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand hand, and when ye turn to the left." -- Isaiah 30:21
I read the following verse and believe it speaks directly to me. Does it speak directly to you?
"This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me." -- Psalm 119:50
Painful eh!.. I know the feeling whenever someone refers to his denomination/cult as "THE church".. when it isn't.. But I will get over it..
