Point/Counterpoint This War Will Shut Off 20% of the Global Petroleum Supply for A Month and Send the Economy into a Stagflationary Tailspin vs. No It Won’t Published: March 26, 2003

and also (for those of us who grew up in more popular evangelical circles in the US) it's always worth a little revisit to consider how the "heroic Christians" of WWII (like Corrie Ten Boom) are presented as the only model for the era, instead of the country of Christians running the camps

this is not a dunk on us, though we may deserve them. this is just to say: it's maybe not very wild for a Lutheran pastor to say "oh yeah, those Lutherans are fascist". to be a liberal member of these churches in the modern context is to be permanently aware of what the church did, how it "looked".

something that doesn't come up in the US awareness as much (due to a lot of Presbyterian/Baptist/Methodist/Episcopalian heritage) is historical awareness of what your church would look like if the country went fascist.

this is not a problem that Lutherans or Catholics have, to put it lightly
