Germans are “followers” by nature.
This is always an easy excuse. You are saying that it couldn’t happen to us because we are not followers like the Germans? The reality is that every one of us is capable of this type of evil and are given the choice between good and evil every day. Thankfully, most of us are given the moral foundation by God to resist the temptation to do this kind of evil and make good choices. The biggest fear that I have is that we are being desensitized to God by the education that our kids receive and the moral training that should be given by their parents. The breakdown of families and the replacement of morality by our electronics (playing games, social media, mainsream media, etc) will lead to more atrocities. God is being replaced by idols - idols like facebook, twitter, and the worship of ourselves. I look around and see that we are ‘followers’ much more than the Germans ever were.
