Sola scriptura (Latin ablative, "by scripture alone") is the doctrine that the Bible contains all knowledge necessary for salvation and holiness. Consequently, sola scriptura demands that only those doctrines are to be admitted or confessed that are found directly within or indirectly by using valid logical deduction or valid deductive reasoning from scripture.

That's quite an out. It is a well exercised routine by each would-be Pope of his own doctrines. We come up with all manner of silliness that way, including the Rapture, Judaizing, and Harold Camping.

After coming up with the immaculate conception of Mary, that Mary dispenses all graces and salvation comes thru Mary, and that your pope is infallible, or any of the outrageous ideas your religion makes up for itself, how could you criticize any religion on the face of the earth???

You guys make the Mormons and Rosicrucians look legitimate...
