Hi Solon It's pretty easy to be critical some 400 years removed. Perhaps you could supply us with some of your heros from that period and we could pick some random quotes that would make them appear unsophisticated and silly. according to Bainton, Luther came from a family atmosphere of "peasantry: rugged, rough, at times coarse, credulous, and devout. ....Certain elements even of old German paganism were blended with Christian mythology in the beliefs of these untutored folk. For them the woods and winds and water were peopled by elves, gnomes, fairies, mermen and mermaids, sprites and witches. ...Luther's mother believed that they played such minor pranks as stealing eggs, milk, and butter; and Luther himself was never emancipated from such beliefs." I wonder if in 400 years people will be compiling all the silly things you have said on this thread and having a good laugh? Somehow I doubt it. Have a good day Greg
