Then went on to blame a cabal of Jews for subverting Christianity….
This is where we say “well nobody’s perfect”. Anyway, when it comes to religion, like history, it all comes down to who is writing it for what audience.
Maybe I’m an anti-semite, but it actually bothers me more that Luther contributed to the murder of more than 100,000 peasants in the revolt of 1524 writing:
‘Therefore, let everyone who can, smite, slay, and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful, or devilish than a rebel. It is just as when one must kill a mad dog; if you do not strike him, he will strike you, and a whole land with you’.
Whataguy!
