Martin Luther founded the Lutheran Church. The Church of England arose separately. The Hussites and then Moravians preceded Martin Luther by a century, so if Martin Luther was their founder he was a genius exceeding Nicolai Tesla, inventing a time traveling machine as he did.

Next thing you know, you’re going to try to tell me that Martin Luther wrote the King James Bible, aren’t you?

I’ve noticed a trend of garbled history such as this among your coreligionists.

“Martin Luther founded the Lutheran Church. The Church of England arose separately.”

True, but since they share in the same rebellion and can share in intercommunion it’s simply ridiculous to ignore the obvious: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/page/agreement-full-communion-called-common-mission

“The Hussites and then Moravians preceded Martin Luther by a century,”

No. Hussites did. Moravians only by about 70 years.

“so if Martin Luther was their founder he was a genius exceeding Nicolai Tesla, inventing a time traveling machine as he did.”

No, Hussites and Moravians were simply heretics rather than Protestants until they joined the Reformation. The same is true of the Waldensians who were simply heretics before becoming Calvinists and then Methodists.

“Next thing you know, you’re going to try to tell me that Martin Luther wrote the King James Bible, aren’t you?”

No, I’ll just let you keep suggesting anachronisms that are really just your ideas to begin with.

“I’ve noticed a trend of garbled history such as this among your coreligionists.”

No, I don’t think you have since it didn’t happen here either.
