Why Ape the Babtists?




Baroque sacred architecture
The Frauenkirche is regarded as the symbol of protestant church construction. The evangelical concept of faith and church service has been translated here into architectural form. The Frauenkirche is a remarkable example of sacred baroque architecture both due to its overall outer appearance as well as to its interior arrangement with the centrally located pulpit, baptismal font, altar and organ. When the bells again ring out, signalling that the church is open to visitors, free access is available to both the nave and the lower church everyone.

How nice! With the global economic collapse, we will be back to worshiping in fields and on hillsides.

There may be many reasons for aping the Baptists including but limited to the following:
* Theological igorance
* Lack of firm religious convictions
* Rebelliousness
* Narcissism
* Laziness
* Fatally flawed reasoning
* Lack of faith that God will bless your synod
* Fear that their job or career will end with their synod
.
.
.

And the list goes on. I have great difficulty finding positive and constructive reasons for aping behavior -- especially from persons professing to be full of wisdom & knowledge of what YOU should do.

The Babtists offer more of what the religious market place wants.
