#2 Funny how the interviewer added the bit on losing virginity because in Islam one can be 15 and legitimately lose you virginity and they see the west as mideviel.

#4 As a Lutheran it is news to me that we believe in predestination!

heh heh...

This before you dig into the rest of his crap.

I don't recall Luther nailing anything about predestination on any church door.

I don't recall anything about it in Luther's Catechism.

I don't recall Luther wanting Chinese armies to invade the Holy Land. I think he was kind of busy with some of the Pope's.

On other points - where does he mention old Christopher hanging out in Iceland for a few years. Its kind-of-important to the story as we know the Vikings were in the New World.

I suspect he read the book 1421 the year China discovered the world.

It didn't matter who discovered the New World.. The difference with Chris is that he exploited his discovery to the max!

Nobody else did.

And... if he really wanted to attack the Holy Land he would have arranged some other method.

Now... some Portuguese did have that dream but they got sidetracked by the wealth of the spice trade and never got around to attacking Mecca. They did have a nasty battle with the Egyptian fleets in the Red Sea though.. Kind of sunk them.. then grabbed Aden...
