so basically you are saying that you, Elsie, cannot help anyone to achieve salvation.
Elsie..
your progenitors have had 25 - 30 generations from the time of Christ before you arrived on earth...
in the intervening 25 - 30 generations statistics dictate that your ancestors have included psychopaths, manic/depressives, schizophrenics, thieves, rapists, murderers, surely sinners of all stripes - statistically speaking of course.
having such a statistically degenerate background, it would certainly be impossible for you, Elsie to be capable of bringing any good into the world. You and your progeny would forever be incapable of helping anyone and could bring the faith to no one. You and you progeny are forever damned.
Stupid analogy you say, bad premise you say, big Red Herring you say, anti-Elsie you say!!!
Well not as stupid an analogy, not as bad a premise, not as big a Red Herring and not as anti-Catholic as that tripe your peddling about the Medici popes.
For the Greater Glory of God
