Their spiritual leader was a man who never spent more than 60 seconds on the can because he was afraid the devil would fly up his bottom.

As a Lutheran, I've become very disenchanted with the ELCA in the last decade. My particular church tries to work within ELCA guidelines, but hardly "tows the line".

Please do not label all Lutherans as leftists. I can certainly assure you we are not.

Luther's Thurmerlebnis (experience in the tower) in the original German (I'm sure you can get the reference online and use Google's translation tools - however inept - to get to the gist.) In additiion to several references expressing the centrality of the Devil to Luther's theology (filth, blackness) he states a specific fear that he(Lucifer) will be thrown into his anus where he belongs.

Real pathos.
