Nie gedacht, dass ich als #Atheist die christliche Kirche mal verteidigen muss. Aber die #Kirche ist nicht einfach irgendeine "NGO". Auch ein:e Pastor:in, Priester:in, Pfarrer:in oder Mönch, Nonne und sonst wer, dürfen ihre Meinung frei vertreten, ob es der #Klöckner passt oder nicht. Als ehemaliger evangelisch-lutherischer #Protestant, bin ich doch dankbar, dass gerade die deutsch-protestantische Kirche eine vorwiegend liberale Meinung vertritt, was der rassistischen und menschenverachtenden #CDU und vor allem #CSU natürlich nicht passt.

DER SPIEGEL · Streit über Tagespolitik: Bundestagspräsidentin Klöckner legt sich mit Kirchen anBy DER SPIEGEL

Le Christ est-il "amour" quand il dit "hypocrites !" aux pharisiens ? Ou encore "laissez-les, ils tomberont dans une fosse".

Alors quand des religieux insistent sur l'amour du seigneur, c'est surtout l'amour de se regarder le nombril qu'ils ont. Cet orgueil qui consiste à déformer le visage et les Paroles du Christ à nous en faire mal à la tête.

Les enfants martyrs de #Betharram avaient soif de la Vérité et vous ne leur avez pas donner à boire.

petite présentation à jour : je suis un grand nounours #gay 50enaire. passionné par tous les moyens de transports mais surtout par les #trains et les #métros (membre d'assos d'usagers), mais aussi par la #mer, les #technologies de l'information, et la #généalogie. 
je vis avec un Jeune Homme et une chatte de salon devenue fauve de jardin.
je suis #protestant (réformé) non pratiquant
enfin, je suis très #émotif, #neuroatypique et j'ai des anxiétés sociales (et, paradoxe, j'aime les gens).

There are many heroes from WWII, and whenever I come across a name I’ve never heard of, I always like to publicise it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer - A pastor and devoted Lutheran Christian who opposed the Nazi regime and simply wanted peace. Unfortunately, this kind and heroic man paid the ultimate price for his beliefs…

Pastors and priests whose sermons were considered in any way critical of the Nazi regime were reported to the authorities by people sitting in church to listen, to spy, to report.

If you Americans think we are not there now in our own time and place, if we think this could only have happened in Germany in the 1930s, then we're not seeing what's going on in our country now — with Christians leading the charge.

Bonhoeffer stated, by the way, that in the time he spent at Union Seminary in New York, he found the Black church in the US alive, spiritually profound, biblically faithful — but he found the white Christian churches in the US the opposite. He took back to Germany the inspiration he received from the Black church in the US and that was one of his guiding lights as he spoke out against the Nazis.

Just as Bishop Mariann Budde is now being attacked for speaking out.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was imprisoned and executed for speaking (and acting) against the German state as a Lutheran leader. In Austria, the lay Catholic Franz Jäggerstätter was imprisoned for refusing to enlist in the army because his conscience did not permit him to support the Nazis. Jäggerstätter was executed.
