Great graphic way to refute this determinist nonsense. I can’t get over how Luther’s doctrine has been repackaged in such Orwellian terms. As in “Freedom of Conscience”. Right —but not for the Peasants, Jews or females. But for the princes, Electors and princes’ of the church. Same old authoritarian model.

Right, before you assume anything about what Luther said you have to understand his definitions of the words used. For instance, “reason.” This is reasoning based on the theory that man is unable to reason. Yes, let us come to reasonable conclusions based on the fact that man cannot reason. Like Socrates, all knowledge begins with the knowledge that man cannot know.
