Sorry, but I believe everything I've said about Luther and Calvin are accurate. Most of what I said was on Calvin and that is quite well documented. I don't care that Calvin was a scholar and a pastor. His actions show him to have been a thoroughly evil man - a cold-blooded murderer, in fact!

Some documentation on Calvin: voicenet.com newadvent.org Note that the last source reveals that Servetus was only one of 58 executed over a 5 year period. Some of them may have been Lutherans, though I haven't been able to confirm that. ic.net On the subject of Luther and Calvin, you should check out what they had to say about each other. First - Luther: "Oecolampadius, Calvin . . . and the other heretics have in-deviled, through-deviled, over-deviled, corrupt hearts and lying mouths." Now, Calvin: Luther . . . will never be able to join along with us in . . . the pure truth of God. For he has sinned against it not only from vainglory . . . but also from ignorance and the grossest extravagance. For what absurdities he pawned upon us . . . when he said the bread is the very body! . . . a very foul error. What can I say of the partisans of that cause? Do they not romance more wildly than Marcion respecting the body of Christ? . . . Wherefore if you have an influence or authority over Martin, use it . . . that he himself submit to the truth which he is now manifestly attacking . . . Contrive that Luther . . . cease to bear himself so imperiously." Luther had done nothing to any purpose . . . people ought not to let themselves be duped by following his steps and being half-papist
