If Luther were alive today, he would be shacked up. He may have shacked up with Katherine von Bora before they were married after all, and he saw nothing wrong with polygamy. If he were alive today, he would give full license to his libido. Even his reasons for marrying his wife show that he was not very principled in this area. He wrote to Spalatin that he married von Bora because he wanted to put an end to rumors about the two of them (i.e. they were accused by many of having an affair). Even some of his own followers apparently denied the marriage was even valid according to the civil law.

You’re a hateful man, Vladimir.

Luther was a course man, in many ways “uncivilized.” But he was no fornicator. To say that he was is a classic approach that Libs take — if you can’t effectively trash the message, then trash the person who delivers it.
