It's just like here now, even the good Christians follow along because it's the
right thing to do!

I think now, in the US, people have the freedom to follow or not follow along
if they believe it's the correct thing to do, or at least the best option
available. When the Nazis ran the show in Europe some people followed along
because not following was a death sentence carried out in your own home in the
middle of the night. Didn't make it right, just made it self preservation. Bet
there's a lot of Sunnis & Shias in that same predicament though there were a
lot more of them when it was there own facist dictator calling the shots.
Haven't you noticed that the places we are most at odds with are the places
where people fear for their lives if they don't at least appear to be OK with
what their governments are doing. What would you have done if
you were
the Chritians in that photo?

The easiest option is more like it. Open your eyes....
"A philosophy or system of government that is marked by stringent social
and economic control, a strong, centralized government usually headed by a
dictator, and often a policy of belligerent nationalism." (From The
American Heritage Dictionary)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
A social and political ideology with the primary guiding principle that the
state or nation is the highest priority, rather than personal or individual
freedoms.(!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
a political system in which all power of government is vested in a person or
group with no other power to balance and limit the activities of the government.
Fascist governments are often closely associated with large corporations and
sometimes with extreme nationalism and racist activities. Modern fascism is
often called "CORPORATISM".

My grandfather was seriously injured in WWII.
He slipped a disc while throwing Jews in an oven.
Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!
