8. Yes, they did. And thousands

of religious Germans, led by their clergy (Lutheran, Reformed, and Catholic), called Nazism a misplaced worship of a man and his vile ideology. They founded underground groups to oppose Hitler. Some of them died in concentration camps for rescuing Hitler's intended victims and for teaching their followers to oppose him.

Go figure.

The KKK considers itself to be a Christian organization, too. So do several other terrorist groups in the US, like the Phineas Priests. And yet, there are thousands of churches in the US that preach against the activities of those groups and have created organizations to oppose them and assist their victims.

I am quite sure that you would not find our very openly Catholic Christian president promoting terrorism. I am absolutely certain that you would not find Georgia's Christian Senator, Reverend Warnock, supporting the KKK. And the Christian civil rights icon, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., did not promote violence or terrorism in any way, shape, or form, but advocated peaceful, passive resistance in the face of violence against him and his followers.
