I have a special name for Protestants: diet Catholics. I guess no one has the heart to tell the Protestants that the Catholics were the ones who declared their Bible inerrant. And no one has the heart to point out that "Sola Scriptura" was a mantra designed to refute arguments that Protestants have no "earthly authority." When the Lutherans wanted to split people were like: "You guys are just heathens who don't want to submit to the Church's divinely-ordained authority." But the Protestants (not wanting to look like arrogant schmucks said: "No way! We have the Bible as our authority!" The reason Protestants get so pervy over the Bible has nothing to do with Christ or Christianity. Rather it is... (help me out here, Drich)...

I mean, if the NT is to be believed, one must agree that the Christians spoken of in Acts had only OT scriptures to go by. After all, they were called "Christians" before Paul had a chance to pen many of his letters... And yet "magic book" (if I may borrow GB's terminology) says clearly that they were Christians.
Now we have a conundrum on our hands, don't we? --uh oh!-- The Bible says there were Christians before the Bible existed. Either one does not need the Bible to be Christian (blasphemy!), or the precious holy texts contain an error (blasphemy!).
So which blasphemy is it?
