As it happens my original brand of crazy was lutheran as well. The wife calls them "watered down catholics"
Sort of. Lutherans have a liturgy, but they've eliminated most sacraments (or at least declared them not to be sacraments) and have gotten rid of most church tradition in favor of the bible. Of course they've since merged with and not ordain their clergy, which they didn't do before. Oh and there are at least four different brands of Lutheran. Fun, fun, fun. And yes, unlike the Catholics they are faith only not works and once saved always saved.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
