Chicago - By an almost two-to-one margin, Midwest Lutherans voiced solid opposition to decapitation, suicide bombing, and chemical warfare in a new comprehensive survey of their social attitudes.
The Pew Research survey, conducted May 13-19, queried nearly 2,500 randomly selected Lutherans at flea markets and convenience stores across the Midwest. Interviews were conducted in High Plains Twang, Great Lakes Nasal and Flat Ohio Valley Bland.
“If there is one headline here, it’s how remarkably moderate the Lutheran community is,” said Pew director Andrew Kohut of the survey, which was co-sponsored by the Council on American-Yooper Relations. “It really paints a picture of a dynamic culture in or somewhere near the American mainstream.”
Knew I forgot to ping somebody . . .
That was good! Shows how VAST the cultural differences are! Let’s let millions of Lutherans into the USA!
BEHEAD those that insult Martin Luther! Oh, and wouldya pass the tater-tot hotdish, please?
Moderate until a local school is bombed by Jihadists, a la Beslan...(God forbid).
Lutherans are not one single group.
Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is conservative
the smaller Wisconsin Synod is also conservative
The Evangelical Lutheran Synod is moderate to liberal.
In Edible Cassaroles?
Oh, sure, you betcha. We’ll get right to that beheading, as soon as we raise some money for a guillotine. We could have a rummage sale in the church basement, or perhaps a pancake breakfast. I’ll bring some fruit salad.
The current Jihad in our congregation centers around the upheval wrought by switching to new pew Bibles and hymnals.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is WAY left of the others. I heard a “Merry Christmas and Happy Ramadan” from the pulpit, and then I never went back.
Yah, sure. It's the embedded marshmallows. Marshmallow shrapnel is pretty nasty stuff.
Ya. I heard Lars Gunderson’s wife is knitting some doilys for the head-choppin’ stump. Doncha know. So I says “What about all the blood there, Lars?”. And he says “Oh well we just move ‘em before we chop and then hose-off the stump before we put ‘em back. That’s all.” So there’s that.

WAY left of the others
I agree, was trying to be polite

I have been to all the historic sites of Martin Luther when I was in East Germany in 1983
