Luther and the Devil

To Martin Luther the devil was real.  He was present in the Garden of Eden and he is present in your backyard as well, although Luther would have said that Satan prefers the bathroom.  Apparently the devil is closely linked to bathroom functions.  Vulgar language is useful in defeating the devil. Always, always, always be on your guard.

Now this may explain two phenomena I've observed.  First, Martin Luther should not be taken at face value.  There is much in Martin Luther's prodigious writing that 21st century people of faith should ignore.  Second, now I know the reason there is so much vulgar language during football games.  Apparently the devil occasionally takes the form of an official.

Happy Reformation Day.
