"The Nazis were anti-Christian, but they would pretend to be Christians as long as it served their purposes of getting theologically ignorant Germans on their side against the Jews."

"The Nazi's were anti-Christian, but they would pretend to be Christians as long as it served their purposes of getting theologically ignorant Germans on their side against the Jews..."

"God wants to see human beings, not ghosts who shun the world. In the whole of world history there is always only one really significant hour -- the present... if you want to find eternity, you must serve the times..." "I fear that Christians who venture to stand on earth on only one leg will stand in heaven on only one leg too..."

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
