“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”
― A.R. Moxon

“I can never forgive evil and lying and cruel means, and still less can I forgive fanatics that use that for an excuse!

― Sinclair Lewis, It Can't Happen Here

“Nothing is more dangerous than an atheist playing God.”

“The efforts spent on defending our turf in the culture wars could be better served on loving our neighbor as ourselves.”
