In my opinion, no one is more responsible fir genocide against Jews than Martin Luther. If you read his writings on the subject it is impossible to not understand his negative impact upon Jews.

Considering that his views helped launch a major faction of Christianity in Europe, it is inarguable that he planted the seeds that took root.

As a Jew, to me, Luther can take a seat next to Hitler for the extermination of my people. I have zero against today’s Lutherans. Heck, I married one, but after reading Luther, I wish he had been murdered before attaining popularity.

Truthfully I do not know that much about Martin Luther’s ideas, and I do feel sincerely terrible that you would have this opinion of him and thereby Christians.

I agree with you that many horrible things have been done in the name of Christianity- but we can expect that from reading the Bible.

Many horrible things are done in the name of “God”.

I agree with you that many lazy people do not understand God, but that is not exclusive to any group or denomination.

People are lazy against God.

I do promise you that I will look up Martin Luther and study this, that you say, and pray about.

I love Jewish people and Judaism and Israel, and I would never kill of them. The violence against Jews , by Nazis has always been a heavy pain in my heart since I was a small child. I can understand that passion that you feel, and I am honestly sorry that you have this pain over Martin Luther.

I do believe God has a purpose for all things under the sun, even the most horrific and painful and seemingly insensible of things.
