Same problem with a lot of Prots who have acted ferrociously in the name of what they perceive is the truth. There are a few rotten apples in the basket, whether it's apples from Protestantism or Catholicism.
Very good explanations from Lance. Josh, superstitious? What do you make of Jesus healing a blind man with mud made from dirt and spit? or the woman who reached out to touch Jesus' garment and was healed? Or cloths taken from the Apostles to others for healing, even their shadows mediating miracles? These sound rather superstitious, but they are recorded in the Scriptures.
