I’m a Lutheran Because

LZ asked "Why are you a Lutheran" and I’ll answer.
I am a Lutheran because they are gracious. Really that’s what it comes down to. Catholics have the authority thing, Methodists have the perfection thing, the Presbyterians have the double predestination thing, the Baptist have the altar call and choir. The Lutherans though hold the trump card, grace. We may have a mad anti-Semite as the regenerator of our Catholicism, but damn, we got grace right. And on top of that, or more likely because of that, we have paradoxes, which are icing on the cake.

Its odd but that's why I'm a Lutheran as well. Grace covers a multitude of sins.
