How do you even justify being a protestant in this day and age?

The Anglican Communion is the only reasonable position.

Well I mean, the reason people attack Luther is because he's viewed as the father of protestantism, is he not?

Unlike popery, protestantism is not (and cannot be by definition) a unified movement.

It refers to various resistances against the perversion of Christianity by papists and jesuits.

He unlocked Pandora's Box.

Protestants along the years after the "Reformation" have killed the gifts of Christ, the sacraments(WhichI believe it one of the biggest tragedies caused, if not the biggest). Luther rejected Scholasticism, thus rejected the idea of rationally knowing God. That is fine, because we cannot, but he went further under the impression that rationality could not converge to knowing God nor convince men in knowing God—this would address a man's capacity for God. If we could maximize that, we could evangelize more, be even more faithful, etc.

There is nothing wrong with this quote. Martin Luther was a prophet, not of Christianity, but of the abyss...
