What were the fruits of Martin Luther? A 500-year-long collapse of the German standard of living? 30 million dead in the bloodiest war in European history? Don’t say, “it takes two to tango”; the Lutherans sided with the Muslims in the 30-Years-War, and left fifteen times more dead than the entire history of the Crusades. (Ironically, this was a man who cited the pacifist Jan Hus as his inspiration.)
In 1400, German peasants worked an average of three and a half days a week and lived to be 50 (if they lived past childhood, they likely lived to 70)... The life expectancy of Germans wouldn’t reach 50 again until after WWII.
So if Martin Luther had not existed, there would never have been any Protestants for the Catholic religion to slaughter, so the war is Marty's fault...And I guess it was Abraham Lincoln's parents' fault that he got shot...
Dont say, it takes two to tango; the Lutherans sided with the Muslims in the 30-Years-War
And the Americans sided with the Russians against Hitler...So what's your point???
So I thank God for Martin Luther's part in preventing the complete takeover of the Catholic religion in all of Europe...
