Did your religious leader even attend Easter Sunday church? Do you see any footage of him going to church, ever?
Wake up you fools!

In the treatise, he argues that Jewish synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes burned, and property and money confiscated. Luther claimed they should be shown no mercy or kindness, afforded no legal protection,and "these poisonous envenomed worms" should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time. He also seems to advocate their murder, writing "[W]e are at fault in not slaying them".
The book may have had an impact on creating later antisemitic German thought. With the rise of the Nazi Party in Weimar Germany, the book became widely popular among its supporters. During World War II, copies of the book were commonly seen at Nazi rallies, and the prevailing scholarly consensus is that it may have had a significant impact on justifying the Holocaust.

(3,726 posts)Everyone lives in an objective shared world
However that world is only known, only exists as ideas (feelings, memories) in the mind.
For the most part, we are all of good mind and don't freak out over the midnight snake-in-the-grass that factually is seen in the light as a lanyard on the lawn.
And while everyone lives in a somewhat subjective world, too many live is extremely subjective worlds; at times society objectively labels such folk as insane.
Those who further surrender their world, their subjective reality, to cult leaders are not living in the same world as the many.

That's who they think that sack of corruption is, too. And since god is everywhere, they can feel him sitting in the amen corner as well as out cheating at golf.
