So you paint all Protestant churches as lacking in holy reverence from your experience in one Baptist church. You ever think about going to another church?

And .... there it is! The absence of authority. Each minister is his own authority .. with 30,000+ protestant churches, each one interprets scripture his own way. YOPIOS

AND yet all of them point to the bible as their authority!

Paul, Peter, John, Mark, Luke, James, etc.... Fairly good leadership I would say.

Oh noes, I feel a YOPIOS cereal commercial coming on. There is one thing YOPIOS has going for it. It interlocks with my view of religion and the worship of God. You may call it bathroom religion if you will. Just as noone can go to the bathroom for you, noone can be responsible for your soul except you. It is the ONE thing God gave you that noone can take away. So, I had better have a personal interpretation and belief of something.
