Nazism and the Church, Evangelicals, Repeating 1919-45, A Lesson to Learn Again

In the days after World War II, a convenient story was told of church leaders and ordinary Christians that defied the Nazis from the beginning. Recent research has uncovered a very different story. Rather than resisting, the greater part of the German church saw Hitler's rise in 1933 as an act of God's blessing, kind of like with Trump, now in when he was elected in 2016. A new chapter in the story of God among the German people, and now is it repeating itself. This is how humans can twist and turn religion as an excuse to be used to do evil, such as fascist Naziism had done. I guess they could not accept Jesus was a Jew, and I guess for survival tactics, kissed up to Hitler and the Nazi party because to them it was the only way to revive their agenda and enforcing their policies in which it backfired with Hitler. How could something like this happen in the heart of Christian Europe? Could it happen again, with the Evangelicals? How does the scholarship of this period affect the church today, especially the Evangelicals? Does the church of today retain the ability to recognize a hypocritical evangelical cult profound evil?

Well to the first question, it happens when a population becomes brainwashed, gullible, desperate and ignorant to the fact. Tribalism, clicks, grouping together (gangs), the sickness of ethnic isolationism, when in fact, the world outnumbers them, so they draw into hate groups (shell) to hide from reality.

We are living a lesson, the world taught us, 1919 when Mckinley started his campaign by saying, make America great again. 1919-33, prohibitions, which were pushed by the far-right religious lobby, protectionism, isolationism, greed of the '20s, income inequities, tariffs enacted in 1928, Hoover did not even accept his check, as did Trump, All this led to a black market in the '30s that fed a black market with alcohol, such as today's war on drugs, farm decline, a rising up of socialism, fascism and nationalism, a Great Depression and a World War.

Legalize drugs and get rid of the thugs, legalize prostitution, and outlaw pimps and gangs. Bailout the citizen like you did the big financial institutions The world is a market of what sells and what does not in ideas, exchanges, products, and services according to supply and demand and not to be restricted by prohibition, isolationist, fanatics, extremist, old institutions that live in the past of ancient reference to the modern times. Wars, conflict, and anything that hinders progress and global commerce flow are obsolete. Never become fanatical about anything, lead me to follow me or get the hell out of the way, keep it simple stupid if it is not broke, don't fix it. A woman is a caretaker of the future of our children, they should be treated with the utmost respect and not according to a religious doctrine

Against Immigration manipulation, stiffer rules. Illegal drug manipulation, Law Inc, the wall, tight border. Healthcare price manipulation, illegal drugs, non-importation from legal drugs abroad, drug war, etc. Oil price manipulation, wars, conflicts, OPEC, petrodollar, etc. We had strict prohibitions in the 1920s, lasted pretty good til the bottom fell out in 1929, filtered out the greedy, jumping out the window and killing themselves, filtered out nationalism across the globe, World War 2, and here we are again!

Religion should be no part of a government and never forced upon a population or civilization. The world is a market of ideas, such as religion and ideologies,

Do not like control freaks, religious fanatics, cons, users, or money-grubbers
