Don’t let the darkness of others reach YOUR AURA Burn few bridges to stop the chaos Sometimes you need the courage to imprison The meaningless drama that drains your energy

Another harm, brought to you by religon
" ..... Bishop Ambrose of Giurgiu told worshipers in this small Romanian town on Oct. 14, “don’t rush to get vaccinated.”
" ... On Tuesday, nearly 600 Romanians died, the most during the pandemic. The country’s death rate relative to population is almost seven times as high as the United States’, and almost 17 times as high as Germany’s."

1 in 5 Czech Republic Believe in God
"Only 2 percent of people in Czechia attend church services at least once a week." "Previous surveys have determined that Czechia is the second-most atheist country in the world after Japan."

JMT
Some Christians have posted here they think; if they are hated, its sign they are on the right path.
Using that same logic; If nazis are hated, clearly, being a nazi is the right thing!

Hitler never went around saying If you follow me or are my servants you will be hated for doing right. apples and oranges...Exactly, you were taught it. It's baked into all of the Abrahamic religions. It is part of that worldview. Some eastern religions have a different worldview. Fear of others is not taught so much, they are more accepting of the others. For example I could be a good Hindu Atheist.

Wrong! Nazis ruled through fear!
Many Nazis knew quite well that they were hated but believed that what they were doing was good of Germany.

Abrahamic religions have a persecution complex (they have a feeling of being persecuted especially without a basis in reality.). They abhor all different religious doctrines, even if they don't know much about them. They are taught there is ONE right way all others are wrong. If you are not with us, you are against us. It doesn't matter if in fact that group hates them or not. Fear of others even without examination comes from tribalism and is xenophobic. It would be hard to find something to fear the ancient Hindu sect of Jainism but the Abrahamic religions would say they are evil. Hitler never went around saying If you follow me or are my servants you will be hated for doing right. apples and oranges... I never read Hitler said that either. Hitler used fear for control, but that fear was based in reality. Nothing to fear from this Jains, they just have a worldview not based in reality.

Thank you for that, xna. I knew some of the history of the Vatican during that time but I had not realized that this happened. The 23-page document by the council reportedly states, “Inasmuch as the bishops did not oppose the war with a clear ‘no,’ and most of them bolstered the [German nation’s] will to endure, they made themselves complicit in the war.”
This included providing hundreds of priests who joined Nazi soldiers on the front lines of the war to offer spiritual guidance between 1939 and 1945 and the conversion of thousands of church properties into military hospitals where tens of thousands of nuns worked as nurses, says the document, produced 75 years after the collapse of Hitler’s Third Reich.
It added: “The bishops may not have shared the Nazis’ justification for the war on the grounds of racial ideology, but their words and their images gave succor both to soldiers and the regime prosecuting the war, as they lent the war an additional sense of purpose.”

I wasn't aware that: "On Hitler’s 50th birthday in 1939, churches flew Nazi flags and prayed for protection of the “Fuhrer and the Reich."
In the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, there is a section of photos showing the RCC and the Nazi connections.
I have a Jewish friend who escaped a concentration camp. He still has his Nazi tattoo which he got in the camp. For now the USA has escaped a second Hitler.
