    He took a dive

    Martin Luther 1523:

    If I had been a Jew and had seen such dolts and blockheads govern and teach the Christian faith, I would sooner have become a hog than a Christian. They have dealt with the Jews as if they were dogs rather than human beings; they have done little else than deride them and seize their property.

    from "That Jesus was born a Jew"

    Martin Luther 1543:

    On the Jews and Their Lies

    from "On the Jews and Their Lies"

      didnt he expect the jews to convert en-masse now that he'd finally discovered TRUE™ christianity? as if jews were jews just cos they didnt like the silly frocks of the catholic church...
