Reservoirs of religious bigotry

 In his book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Shirer wrote:

It is difficult to understand the behavior of most German Protestants in the first Nazi years unless one is aware of two things: their history and the influence of Martin Luther. The great founder of Protestantism was both a passionate anti-Semite and a ferocious believer in absolute obedience to political authority. He wanted Germany rid of the Jews. Luther's advice was literally followed four centuries later by Hitler, Goering and Himmler

Since both Catholics and Lutherans have now formally and collectively repudiated overt murderous bigotry the focus now shits to the Eastern Orthodox church.  That one marching in lock-step with Chekist fascism in Russia and the DPRK.

That one supporting Xtian violence and Holy War.  Today's mass-murdering crusaders.
