Actually, he just didn't like them being rich. He was a Catholic himself (or at least wanted to be).Even though there is a lot I disagree with in Protestant faiths, I think Martin Luther had a good point by criticizing the authority of the pope, priests, etc.

C) Intolerance. The only reason that word seems "bad" is because modern society is addicted to tolerance. Years ago, it was actually a postive thing. Mind you, so was "racism," but this is completely different. The point is, culture changes and therefore "good" or "bad" perceptions of words do. I, for one, consider myself mildly intolerant.
D) Yes, fear can cause conversions, sometimes. Sometimes it takes a good fire and brimstone sermon to convert someone, and covnersions is what Christiants like!! Some people, obviously, get turned off by that, so other methods are used, i.e., loving evangelism. Different strokes for different folks, I don't care, I will be what I need to be to evangelize.
See, I know what you are getting at here, my friend Adrianne (Adi) is a Messianic Jew who grew up pagan, and from the time he was 21 to when he was 23, he lived in Israel in a commune.
He's an intelligent but highly brainwashed person. Even then, your shallow understanding of the definition of "intolerance" is insulting. I'll tell you what I tell him: Intolerance itself is a contradictory concept. You can't be intolerant of intolerance without becoming it yourself, and you can't tolerate intolerance or the world and people will suffer. It's a stupid, stupid word. When you get to a point where you believe in your own spiritual significance enough to think you know what it is to be correctly intolerant, and then act on it zealously, THAT is when you have erred, not the other way around. YES, people commit atrocities, but to act in vain and destroy life in turn? This is where you people get it wrong! It doesn't matter what side is right, to be on either side and destroy life is the same. God wants you to be a zealot? Don't make me laugh. Humans don't have the wisdom, yet humans wrote the books. To take it as god's word is condemn good people to death for your IDEAL. Your BELIEF. Your GOD and COUNTRY are not ABOVE OTHER PEOPLES LIVES. EVER. LIFE ITSELF IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR BLIND AND IGNORANT FAITH.
You religious people always think you need a to have a filter in your mind, open but closed. This is the beginning of WHY the end us NIGH. YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THE REASON IT WILL HAPPEN. Everything in the middle east right now and all destruction and endless war over such a small piece of fucking land? Yeah, lets end the entire world and destroy EVERYONE IN IT because of one tiny strip of land. What kind of thinking let humans dig themselves into this hole?
Closed but open minds. Sick fucks too stupid for logic and reason have doomed the planet earth by forgetting the ultimate value of human life itself. Thanks a lot assholes.
Oh, and I'm not picking sides here, but jews being unable to go to the mountain and pray IS fucked up. You see, religious tolerance is only for tolerant religions, imo. -

I'm almost embarassed to be Catholic with the way Kevin is talking.
Kevin - Political topics do not need your clearly biased religious opinions. Shut the fuck up. -

....wait, wait. Do you seriously think they're purposely drowning polar bears in oreder to introduce communism into America slowly?
This really only requires a yes/no answer. Anything beyond that I'm not going to read. -

This.Seriously, Gwazi, I could, again, say the same thing in reverse. i.e., when confronted with the truth that abortion is homicide, liebrals like it more; when confronted with the truth that human-caused global warming, and global warming at all, is a hoax designed to enslave the world by making us all willingly submit to "small" regulations so that piece-by-piece we are taking over until we are in a New World Order totalitarian regime, because most people hate communism and the actual communist revolutions caused hatred, now they go for a different approach, namely, erode rights SLOWLY and (I fucking hate the following statement more than 99.9999% of the things in the world) "for my own good," i.e., no smoking, lots of nanny-style regulations in general, "pro-environment" regulations are just a rather large swath of this because they appeal to people's naivity and show polar bears drowing and want us to feel bad even though its probably faked, and other such things, so this whole conspiracy is not based around the Global Warming Hoax but the GWH is a "cornerstore" so to speak, ANYWAYS, when confronted with this true and FUCKING DEPRESSING IT MAKES ME WANT TO TURN EMO A.L.M.O.S.T IT MAKES ME SO FUCKING DEPRESSED AND SAD I _A_L_M_O_S_T CRY truth, liberals will just say, as some of y'all will in a second, "Oh, that's fucking shit bitch," or, more elaborately, "that's motherfucking bullshit you son of a bitch," or something, dismiss it, and go call for some more ninny regulation.
