What should scare the $hit outta everyone is we are living in a post Christian world.
In 1939, Germany as much of Europe was overwhelmingly church going Christians.
Hitler couldn’t broadcast his intentions on exterminating the Jews. I’ve listened to diaries from front line Here soldiers who were shocked when they heard at what the Hitler government were doing. It made a mockery of their fellow soldiers sacrifice against their war against “bolshevism
Just think what can happen without the Christian valves holding them back? We already kill millions of babies and now allowing sex change operations on children.
It boggles my mind what’s next.
The Nazis had a saying, “First the Saturday People, then the Sunday People.”
Hitler lamented that Germany was a “Christian” country, with its “flabbiness”, he would have much preferred had German adopted Islam.
Indeed.
I'm starting a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Christian dissident in Nazi Germany. Hitler was able to roll over the active Christian movement in Germany, but Bonhoeffer represented what was a large Lutheran and Catholics opposition to the Nazis and the Nazis were always very wary of them - and Germany's Christian conscience. That's why that one comment triggered me: if we expect a prison guard to not "just follow orders," exactly what order or morality do we expect him to follow???
With that Christian conscience gone - the gates of hell await.
