Are you open to religious experiences?

[Alex K]

I've never had much to do with protestants, but they look like ignorant moneygrabbers most of the time.

Luther wasn't exactly a role model either. Raving antisemitic and idly standing by whilst the barons slaughtered the peasants. Even worse, he condemned the peasant insurrections of the 16th century and took the side of the high and mighty.

Not comparable in severity, but his ideas on science also weren't very impressive. There's this quote about copernicus or so...

"There is talk of a new astrologer who wants to prove that the earth moves and goes around instead of the sky, the sun, the moon, just as if somebody were moving in a carriage or ship might hold that he was sitting still and at rest while the earth and the trees walked and moved. But that is how things are nowadays: when a man wishes to be clever he must . . . invent something special, and the way he does it must needs be the best! The fool wants to turn the whole art of astronomy upside-down. However, as Holy Scripture tells us, so did Joshua bid the sun to stand still and not the earth."[55]
