Catholics Aren't Christians?

No wonder Hitler turned out like he did.

Luther is considered the major contributor to German antisemitism. There's his infamous tract "The jews and their lies". And he's also behind the ruler of Saxony's decision to throw out tje jews of his realm.

There's also this beauty speaking of his character

Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants (German: Wider die Mordischen und Reubischen Rotten der Bawren) is a piece written by Martin Luther, related to the German Peasants' War. Beginning in 1524 and ending in 1526, the Peasants' War was a result of a tumultuous collection of grievances in many different spheres: political, economic, social, and theological. Martin Luther is often considered to be the foundation for the Peasants' Revolt; however, he maintained allegiance to the Princes against the violence of the rebels. Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants typifies Luther’s reaction to the Peasants’ War, and alludes to Luther’s concern that he might be seen to be responsible for their rebellion.

All in the name of saving his own sorry hide. A little bit of asscrawling goes a long way after all.

On witches, by a Luther apologetic, who obviously thinks this is less horrible, if it's just a criminal act and the ensuing punishment.

Kai Lehmann: Martin Luther was firmly convinced of the existence of witches. He believed that they harmed human beings, cattle and the harvest with their magic. He requested that witches should be killed by fire. However, he wanted nothing less or more than punishment for a crime that he perceived as a real one.

And let's not forget, he was also a delusional motherfucker, who always saw the devil at his bedside. This would be actually funny, if it was only about that.

“Almost every night when I wake up the devil is there and wants to dispute with me. I have come to this conclusion: When the argument that the Christian is without the law and above the law doesn’t help, I instantly chase him away with a fart.” (Martin Luther, Table Talk, 469)
