SLSL, TSR, "La Puta"

[Dave Monroe]

"Reason is the Devil's greatest whore; by nature and
manner of being she is a noxious whore; she is a
prostitute, the Devil's appointed whore; whore eaten
by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under foot
and destroyed, she and her wisdom ... Throw dung in
her face to make her ugly.  She is and she ought to be
drowned in baptism...  She would deserve, the wretch,
to be banished to the filthiest place in the house, to
the closets."  Martin Luther, Erlangen Edition v. 16,
pp. 142-148

"Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith
must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and
understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of
sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.  To be
a Christian, you must pluck out the eye of reason. 
Whoever wants to be a Christian should tear the eyes
out of his Reason. Die verfluchte Huhre, Vernunft.
(The damned whore, Reason)."  Martin Luther, Works,
Volume 22, c. 1543.

John Osborne, Luther (1961) ...

"And I sat in my heap of pain until the words emerged
and opened out, 'The just shall live by faith.'  My
pain vanished, my bowels flushed and I could get up. 
I could see the life I'd lost.  No man is just because
he does just works....  This I know; reason is the
devil's whore, born of one stinking goat called
Aristotle, which believes that good works make a good
man.  But the truth is that the just shall live by
faith alone.  I need no more than my sweet redeemer
and mediator, Jesus Christ."
