Oh yes, “Saint” Luther. Such a wonderful person. lol. Here are some charming Luther quotes:”Their synagogues ... should be set on fire.”
“Their homes should be broken down and destroyed. They ought to be put under one roof or in a stable, like Gypsies, in order that they may realize that they ... are ... but miserable captives.”

“They should be deprived of their prayerbooks and Talmuds.”

“Their rabbis must be forbidden under threat of death to teach any more.”

“What shall we Christians do now with this depraved and damned people of the Jews? ... I will give my faithful advice: First, that one should set fire to their synagogues. . . . Then that one should also break down and destroy their houses. . . . That one should drive them out the country.”

Here are some of his charming views on women:

“Even though they grow weary and wear themselves out with child- bearing, it does not matter; let them go on bearing children till they die, that is what they are there for.

“The word and works of God is quite clear, that women were made either to be wives or prostitutes.”

And, those quotes are just the tip of the iceberg. Luther was a bigoted , misogynistic, horrible little man. He was no Christian.

He lived in an anti-Semitic society and you’re judging him by the standards of today. I could easily find another 20 very prominent people in history that were deeply flawed. That does little or nothing to their contributions to society. And surprisingly, you don’t get to judge who is and who isn’t a Christian. Nice try, though.

Here are some charming Luther quotes:

Here's a list of charming Catholic deeds:

Catholic anti-semitism

I wonder where Luther learned that AS. Note that some of these Catholics were 'Saints'. He was (They were)no Christian.

And how does your day go? Never a harsh word, a passing bit of hate? How would CrimsonTidegirl's life look in the harsh light of reality?
