Oh WAIT! I get it. You're squawking about something somewhere in the OTHER 3300 posts in Ichabod. Cute and fuzzy little confessional kitteh just made your head explode, and you lashed out. Poor dear.
Well, I suggest picking up one or two of the books upon which little kitteh is lying, but ease into it. Avoid the spoof of the Hybel's nonsense though. Perhaps you've noticed Ichabod does spoof people, events, and ideas. This is a literary technique of ridicule that's a bit farther along than playground name-calling, "bigotry," for instance.
Although, as you actually read Luther's works, you'll learn he wasn't afraid to take apostates to the woodshed. "Nothing like a good piece of hickory," he'd say. Or was that the High Plains Drifter. I digress.
Eventually one should get past the elementary school bleating of "8th commandment" back against every rebuke and should realize we're in the church militant. We should be weaned off of the spiritual mother's milk by now, and moving onto contending for the faith and using careful discernment. If there's confusion still, instead of relying on Youtube and Facebook for your theology, read the Bible. Need clarification? Heck, why not dive into the Confessions? You can read them online for free. After all they are the correct exposition of the scriptures.

WELS DPs pioneered the osmosis technique of learning.
Why study when bigotry provides a convenient shortcut?
