Lutherans favor non-violent path to world domination
The world can rest a little easier tonight.
Iowahawk reports that according to a Pew Research survey, Midwestern Lutherans overwhelmingly reject violence, terror and decapitation as means for achieving their cherished goal of world domination. A consensus seems to exist that the universal imposition of Two Kingdoms theology, orthodox theology in general,and universal quia subscription to the Book of Concord in particular should be pursued by peaceful means.
The survey reportedly reveals that the only demographic to embrace violence and terror as means of achieving the Lutheranization of the world are 18-to-35 year old male members of the Wisconsin Synod. Even here, the majority favoring random violence and bloodshed as means of Lutheranizing the world is within the poll's margin of error.
Missing from the survey is any differentiation between members of the ELCA and others claiming the Lutheran label. The failure to filter out responses from a sub-demographic unsure that violence and decaptitation might not sometimes be valid means of exterminating Lutheranism itself (especially if carried out by those oppressed by the confessional dogma that truth particularly matters) may well have skewed the results.
Nevertheless, as the article notes, the survey seems to indicate that Americans- other than Presbyterians- have little to fear from militant Lutheranism. "If there is one headline here," Pew director Andrew Kohut reportedly remarked, "it's how remarkably moderate the Lutheran community is."
