Amitabha is just a daemon(logical idol) for me and laymen. But isn't it the personal god for priest?? Invocation is samaya. cf. 津田真一,阿弥陀如来は人格神ではなかったのか,宗教研究 64-4(287),1990
The problem of belief is not the consistency of prayer, nor the logical forms. but the grounds/boundaries of one prayer's continuity. Memory? Symmetric angle? / In a community? Under the guillotine?
Protestantism is the generalization of occult(causality)-"kill for invocation", not liberation. They deny the concept of depending origination as "an origin of dependence" . Hakamaya and Tsuda agree in the grasp of "Honen as anti-protestant".
