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.)

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...

Don’t 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...

You’re comparing the Lutheran-Muslim alliance with the US-Soviet alliance? In 1529, the Polish and Austrians had rescued Germany from Islamic conquest at the first siege of Vienna, while Luther was whining about the military budget, convincing Germanic lords that they a duty to sit out the defense of civilization, and allow the Muslims to be the instrument through which God punished Christianity for being infidels.

Yeah, that’s why the Catholic church treated Luther as more than just another idiot bumpkin: the German aristocracy were salivating over the chance to grow rich while their military rivals depleted their fortunes defending civilization, and Luther gave them the theological tools to justify their betrayal: He was the Jane Fonda, John Kerry and Code Pink of his day, rolled up into one.

Thanks be to God that 23,000 Poles and Austrians defeated an army of 120,000 Muslim invaders.

Let’s not forget what happened in China and India when Islam conquered, shall we? The Muslim genocides actually took huge chunks out of the global population, wiping out hundreds of millions combined. These are the people Luther brought into Poland, not to help in a mutual counter-aggression struggle, but purely because they would depopulate a potential political rival.
