It wasn't meant to be snarky. I was simply suggesting that you, who belong to an organization that consistently trashes scripture, has doctrine that is diametrically opposed to scripture, has repeatedly preferred tradition over scripture, and probably has the fewest adherents percentage wise in your faith that actually read scripture.....why don't you just throw away the book? You don't need it! You're doing just fine without it...financially.....anyway.
Denying the self-evident is not generally considered a useful debating skill...at least formally.

Please define "trashes."
...has doctrine that is diametrically opposed to scripture,...
Such as?
...has repeatedly preferred tradition over scripture,...
which is wrong because...?
...and probably has the fewest adherents percentage wise in your faith that actually read scripture.....
as opposed to those who use the scripture as a cudgel...?
You're doing just fine without it...financially.....anyway.
Hospitals and orphanages are expensive! I suppose we could put our money into more air-time, like our separated brethren, but we've found turning spiritual babes loose with no more guidance than a bible is a recipe for chaos.
Our doors are always open. Those that are not spiritual will quickly grow bored with us. They will not be encouraged to "remain faithful" by entertainment.
Let's presume that moldy anti-Catholic brickbat is true, just for a moment. The Catholic Church would still have the most adherents, percentage-wise and population-wise, who actually understand Scripture.
Not your novel and gymnastic (mis)understanding of Scripture, mind you, but Christ's meaning.
