Personally, having a primarily Baptist and Church of Christ flavored youth, I was only ever told of Martin Luther in History classes. |

| adept_ninja | Not my church. I used to be a luthern in the sense that I was made to go to church and learn about him and I could just about tell you his whole life story from burning the popes letter to when he died | ||

| ziggytrix | I think the majority of churchgoers of protestant denominations in America couldn't even tell you who the fuck Luther was. | ||

| Ant10708 | Yeah he had tons of bowel problems. Thomas Moore once wrote an essay to Luther or concerning him and constantly made shit references because of his bowel problems. | ||

My old British history prof said that Martin Luther also most likely suffered from chronic constipation. That probably explains a lot... |

As for the "insufferably pompous asshole" part, I think most religious leaders are. You're talking about people who think they have a direct line to God. |

| FS | Well, I for one know many Protestants who are ALWAYS coming over for coffee and then breaking down and crying and saying "I just don't know how much longer I can go on being a Protestant! I mean, didn't you hear about Martin Luther?" | ||

I used to be Lutheran, actually, only because my parents were. It seemed fine to me. None of that "Feast of Saint Bullshit" nonsense, we didn't believe that our wine and bread magically transformed into something much ickier, and in general, it was much more lax than Cathoholics want Church to be. Seems to me that it is Cathoholics that make religion a burden to it's followers with all that "One true faith" garbage. |

| Cosmo Electrolux | If they could find hair shirts, they'd wear them. Protestants still think they are being oppressed when they themselves are the oppressors. | ||

| AChimp | Protestants don't deal or live with it. They suffer because of these ideas all their lives and are happy because of it. | ||

Something makes me doubt that Catholicism is completely free of that kind of stuff. And don't forget that an awful lot of flavors of Protestantism have departed quite a bit from Luther's teaching. |

Martin Luther Write now I should be righting an essay on Luther's attack on Erasmus. Having read so much of his banter, the following have arisen in my mind: How do Protestants live with the fact that their founder was devoted to Mary and the Eucharist? How do Protestants live with the fact that their founder was an insufferably pompous asshole? How do Protestants live with the fact that their founder believed that God created man to sin without free will just so that he could throw them into hell? How could Luther be described as anything but a total dumbass with a big vocabulary? I'm not trying to be all like "CATHOLICISM YAY, GO POPE!!@", but really, what the fuck? |
