Going along the idea that God just knows why do we go to mass or why is that a requirement for so many religions? It seems to me it's unnecessary because one should always love and be in communication with God all the time. Being a Catholic they say you go because you're receiving the Eucharist and that's the way of showing your love for God and thanking God for giving us Jesus.

I always wonder as well why did Jesus have to die to forgive our sins? I don't understand why that had to happen. Was it God's way of showing us that God cared so much for us that Jesus was a reverse sacrifice (of sorts). You sacrifice for me now I will sacrifice for you.

IME Luther kept the rituals that made sense and provided meaning. Lutheranism probably is the closest Protestant denomination to Roman Catholicism aside from Episcopalians (and we all know where that perfidy came from, sheesh...).

My brother's an Episcopalian and he likes it. And there is an Episcopalian Church in my town. I drive by it everyday when I'm home. I'm not sure about a Lutheran one though, that could be tricky.
