Sorry, I can’t let you get by with this. I am with you 100% in the general anti-Obama, anti-Democrat sense of what you posted. However, when you characterize Protestants as knowing more about Martin Luther King than Martin Luther, while saying things like this:

Somehow I find the will to go on living without beheading people, without putting them to the torch

It shows you are the one who doesn’t know your history. It is YOUR institution that is famously known for putting “people to the torch.” If the Pope could have gotten hold of Martin Luther, they would have put him to the torch. Like they did John Huss, William Tyndale, and thousands of others who refused to bow the knee to Rome.

It is not ISIS that is famously known for burning people alive, it is your tyrannical institution. ISIS is copying the precedent set by the RCC.

You can only wish Protestants are ignorant of history.

You do know, I’m sure, that Protestants eagerly burned their dogmatic enemies as well, don’t you? Read up on the history of Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries, for a start.

Burning heretics and witches was not the exclusive monopoly of the RCC: There is enough blame to go around on that score.

Just sayin’.

Protestants were burning people lastweek?

No matter. Got you down as agreeing with obama. Got it.

“It is not ISIS that is famously known for burning people alive, it is your tyrannical institution. ISIS is copying the precedent set by the RCC.”

Sounds like propaganda from the Democrat party and one of the many places that condone beheading, suicide bombing and burning of humans, all in the specious name of grievance.
(And behind it is a seething, visceral, hatred and contempt for Christianity.)

IMHO
