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?

You're talking about Protestants. These are the same folks who send their kids' college money to Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.
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.
