If you've never been to an SBC convention as a protestant, then you absolutely should go to at least one.
Nothing can make the case for patriarchal succession as the correct ecclesiastical authority quite like the diverse schizo open mic segment of the convention.
@jb@TrevorGoodchild@Starprophet1@WhiteBoyRooster Why is it that all the chicks with bad skin or mid features fuck niggers? Did the bad skin and off-features come before or after she touched a nigger?
Now you know why the (actual) Church resisted translating the Vulgate into the vernacular for so long - it quite successfully kept the midwit out of the Church hierarchy.
Protestantism is simply hordes of midwits playing St Thomas Aquinas or St John Chrysostom with less than half the IQ. It's why the only things they can seem to agree on are whatever jews want - hate for Catholics and (presumably) Eastern Orthodox, hate for the Sacraments and in particular Communion and Confession, and hate for any sort of hierarchy.
Midwits want the Weimerican Dream - a paper crown, a 10th-acre "kingdom", a "church" with "doctrine" written in crayon, a fat mystery-meat "wife", niggerfaggot neighbors, and fake food.
@wing_str@WhiteBoyRooster@jb Having to learn Latin (mandatory) and in some cases Greek as well is an extremely effective screening tool to weed out all non-hackers. Only now is the wisdom of the ancients clear.
Even though Pearl is a grifter, at least as a current grifter, she knows that she has to stay relevant. Unlike the simp McChristian she was debating (Trent Horn picrel), who refused to say how US McMarriage benefits men.
