they’re still here sadly.

I’m sure I’ve heard it, but when you’re living it, it just hits different. I’d always thought most of the church in Germany during the 40’s was fighting the Nazi regime - not supporting it (i.e. Bonhoeffer). But, I know that’s dumb the more I think about it. It was a perverse form of Christianity (or just Christianity depending on your views) that allowed Hitler to get to power and maintain it. Of course, a fair portion of the church had his back.

Just like the church has Trump’s back in regards to most things today - even those things that are so anti-Jesus it’s almost laughable. The irony is thick enough to choke on. Let’s be clear, it’s mostly the white evangelical church…. which might as well be called the Pharisees but, yeah, they’ve got his back.

This kind of stuff, of course, makes me really sad but I guess those power loving religious people haven’t ever really gone away despite Jesus’ best attempts.
