Watching "Nuremberg" — the horrifying footage of murdered human beings in one concentration camp after another:

And thinking of the vile words today of the man for whom over half of white Christians have voted three times:

ROBERT MUELLER JUST DIED.
GOOD, I'M GLAD HE'S DEAD.

And thinking:

Some 95% of Germans were Christian when Hitler came to power. Hitler was applauded, celebrated, welcomed by many Christian leaders and their congregations in Germany who said that God had placed him in power to make the German people great again.

Millions died.

Millions were murdered.

And even now, large numbers of US white Christians keep right on standing by their man….

@wdlindsy Keep telling us religion is not the problem

@grumpydad I would propose that Dietrich Bonhoeffer — to take one example from many of those who gave their lives to resist Nazism, with their religious conviction motivating them — demonstrates that religion can be both the problem and the antidote. And that religion is multifaceted and not the simplistic object our prejudice — from whatever side — wants us to make it to be.
