    Modern Lutherans really don’t give a shit what he said. Most are actually pretty selfaware. They know that Luther was probably just a schizophrenic. But it doesn’t matter. We take the good ideas and disregard his blatant racism.

    From my experience the average Lutheran: Follows the ideals that Jesus has tought (the whole be a good person, (sometimes) turn the other cheek, treat everyone equally and so on), practices religion only because it has become culture and doesn’t care about any religious “authority” (wich goes completely against some things Luther said and they know that).

      You ignoring doctrine that’s no longer acceptable doesn’t change what it says. Sounds like you could use a new denomination to separate yourself from the people that follow all the beliefs of Lutheranism. Because those closer adherents by definition are the true believers, not people that pick and choose what’s socially convenient.
