You can't have two masters, it's a moral issue so the masters are Christ and Satan.
I don't care how many people join the local democrat party because it's good for their business they're wrong to do and serving the democrat agenda by doing so no matter how they say they actually vote. That's not nearly as stark a choice but it's the same basic question, is serving evil serving evil or is it just a convienence.
“A lot would sign up and they’d be dead wrong to do so no matter what. PERIOD.”
Okay, what is “A lot”? Give me a number. It would be in the millions wouldn’t it? Yes, it would - probably several million at the very least. It would be “dead wrong” but that is easy to see in our armchairs decades later. At the time it might seem like a great, patriotic thing to do, in fact, it did for many people.

When you’re fighting the Soviets and the Nazis seem like your friends you’re probably more than willing to believe you’re not serving two masters and that you’re in fact fighting Satan himself. After all isn’t communism evil? Didn’t the communists brutalize your village, your family, your church, your priest, your school mates and everyone you knew for 22 years?
“I don’t care how many people join the local democrat party because it’s good for their business they’re wrong to do and serving the democrat agenda by doing so no matter how they say they actually vote.”
Of course. Now, what if it was the Democrat Party that “liberated” America after 22 years of Soviet oppression? Would it be so easy for people to see the Democrat Party as wrong when they stand at the gates of your town as apparent liberators?
“That’s not nearly as stark a choice but it’s the same basic question, is serving evil serving evil or is it just a convienence.’
Is it really a matter of “convenience” when the KNOWN evil side starved 2,000,000 of your fellow citizens to death on purpose just a few years before? Is that what you call a matter of “convenience”? I call it a matter or survival and vengeance and those are pretty tough instincts to overcome.
Be honest. Millions and millions of Americans would have signed up to join the SS. And yes, many of them would have slaughtered Jews, blacks, gypsies, Catholics and whoever else if they had been ordered to do so. Don’t doubt it for a second.
