“””“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
— DIETRICH BONHOEFFER “””


The Left has long considered Bonhoeffer one of their heroes, and that the orange man is Hitler.

The Right latched onto him after Eric Metaxas wrote a book about him. Look into Metaxas.

I have read only superficially about Bonhoeffer, so am admittedly ignorant about him other than the basic bio and this particular quote. thanks for the Metaxas name.

Right...left. The truth is the truth. I don't care who speaks it.

We play the derp game when we attack the messenger and ignore the truth.
