    How the hell did you get any of that out of what I said? His impact on Western civilization can’t be ignored, he fractured the Western Church and people should be made aware of the terrible views he espoused so history can rightly regard him as the miserable asshole he was rather than some force for good mythology has made him out to be.

      You sound angry. Are you angry?

        No, I’m not angry, it’s been five centuries since Luther pulled his egotistical bullshit, I’ve had time to cope. Plus, I’m not a Western Christian anyway, so at the end of the day it’s still not my circus and not my monkeys.

        I am passionate though, because so many of the problems in Western Christianity today lie squarely or predominantly at Luther’s feet.

        You really need to cut the shit with the “pretend to be cool and aloof” routine. Shit’s embarrassing.
