Look I can see you’re no fan of Luther or the Reformation in general. Yet, Luther lived and the reformation happened. What’s done is done.Just ignore these threads.

So don’t tell me it is a religious forum. If it was I wouldn’t be posting I it. Luther throughout his life had visions of the demonic. Google Luther and the inkwell. Why don’t you target Eagleone and his Marianophobia??

“So don’t tell me it is a religious forum. If it was I wouldn’t be posting I it.”

I didn’t.

Several posts of yours have been removed from RF forum threads lately.

I don’t argue or debate with posters.

Catholics have no need for a crazed possessed 16th Century German monk.

I guess you don't pray to him, then? But I thought Martin Luther was being busily rehabilitated in the Roman Catholic Church, isn't there a statue of him in the Vatican now? You guys are so confused and confusing, and it just spins out of control where Luther is concerned, just absolutely wild and wacky.

As far as what Catholics have a "need" for, it appears that you need a crazed, possessed 21st century South American commie Jesuit.

O HEY! Godwin’s Law has been violated!

I think that’s a serious violation of the forum rules. If not, it’s definitely a violation of good taste.


Rather, invoking Mike Godwin to support one's cause, or silence one's opponent is akin to those screaming "Homophobia, Hate Speech" on college campuses.

    One should more carefully look into those one chooses as one's law giver.
  1. You read about him here.
  2. One can follow him on twitter here.
  3. Oh, and he already ruled his law does not apply in Charlottesville.

Oh boo hoo hoo Hitler. Invoke the (Catholic) Fuhrer instead of trying to defend your hopelessly corrupt hierarchy.

And really, screaming ‘Nazi’ while accusing us of trying to silence you by pointing out how stupid it is?

THAT’S the best argument you have?

HA HA HA HA HA.

BWAHAHAHA!!!!

Nice attempt to shut down debate yourself. So now applying Godwin's Law is *hate speech* and you are doing the very thing you are condemning.

And he's complaining about trying to shut down speech?

How hypocritical is that?

Mike Godwin, the law giver, you so often appeal to:

Sure, call Trump a Nazi. Just make sure you know what you’re talking about.

Yawn.

Are you Mike Godwin? No?

Even if the answer was yes, I really don’t care.

I’m going to continue to point out and mock you and all your ilk for your increasingly pathetic whiny invocations of Hitler in order to try to shut up non-Papists.

Odd, by my count, you have invoked the name which must not be mentioned the most on this thread.

Oh boo hoo hoo.

Your ilk started the argument and now you can’t stand it when we throw it right back in your face and mock the vapidness of it.

As the saying goes, don’t want none, don’t start none.

Hey, it’ll turn around.

There’s another thread where he’s the hero for his support of the eucharist thing.

And then of course, any time it’s about Mary, he’s the hero.

Because I try and follow the guidelines.

Roman Catholics really hate it when the true nature of how Roman Catholicism views is called out into the light of day.

They will usually be the first to resort to the personal attack and/or profanity.

I Googled your claim about Luther.

Wow, you’re citing 400-year-old FAN FICTION as fact.

Now THAT’S comedy!
