M.O.

I have to say, it's okay to be a Protestant, but I don't think the Church was found by God, but by Luther, and the Bible was changed by Luther.
I must also say that Luther's intentions were well-intentioned, but they have done damage to the Church and it has led to so many divisions and hatred among Christians.
However, I don't want to attack anyone.
