Maggots

“The first thing I ask is that people should not make use of my name, and should not call themselves Lutherans, but Christians. What is Luther? The teaching is not mine. Nor was I crucified for anyone. … How did I, poor stinking bag of maggots that I am, come to the point where people call the children of Christ by my evil name?”
— Martin Luther
