Happy Reformation Day, everybody!

Yeah, I know it's Halloween.  It's also the traditional anniversary of Martin Luther's nailing of the 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church door in Wittenburg back in 1517.  Now, I know he was an anti-semite dick, but his actions did spark the Thirty Years' War (among others), the revulsion to which was a heavy contributor to the Enlightenment, and so to our own tradition.  

In celebration, I say we all go out and nail something to a church today.  

 

"The whole conception of God is a conception derived from ancient Oriental despotisms. It is a conception quite unworthy of free men."
--Bertrand Russell

I could nail someone in a church.  Would that be ok?
