"Luther"

We watched the 2003 film called Luther, about the father of Protestentism, Martin Luther. The film was good in that I did learn some things about him that I had not known before. However, it was not really a compelling work, did not draw you in, and was a bit boring, despite the incredible subject matter.

It did remind me of why I am no longer a Catholic. But further, I remember hearing that Luther was a bit of a zealot himself. And I wonder-- did establishing more religons that caused division and hatred really solve anything, or did it make more excuses for killing each other. Did either side of the schism really heed the words in the bible, or did they all just want power?
