spare me the false piety.

the church makes up its own rules and passes them off as holy law with only fleeting and occasional reference to the scriptures. the most glaring being the pope and his vatican neither of which are determined by scripture but only by the church itself, consensus or not -

''should be determined by consensus of the congregation and not by scripture.''

who do you think decided scripture was 'scripture'?
a consensus of congregated people
who do you think the Vatican and the Pope are?
a congregation of people
------
if you want other people to tell you what you should do and what is sacred and what is profane, to decide things for you, that's up to you
but if that's up to you, shouldn't other people get that right? the right to distinguish the sacred from the profane?
as for a consensus, if one man is right and everyone else is wrong, than he must be
