Conservative Activist: Gays Coming For Christians Like ‘What Hitler Was Doing’
[su_center_b]
Ah, it’s the old Hitler meme again.
Adam McManus, a radio host and organizer of the Freedom 2015 Religious Conference, has warned that Christians were being silent about same-sex marriage in the same way that Germans had been silent about the Holocaust.

During a recent interview, McManus told KDNL host Jamie Allman that “there is a real threat to all of our freedom, to all of our liberty.”
“What’s going to happen when a homosexual couple comes to one of your viewer’s churches and asks for their pastor to marry them and their pastor says no, it’s against the Bible?” he asked. “Believe me, he is going to be in serious trouble. He might be fined, he might be penalized, he might be even imprisoned.”

“I think of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the words he had to say about the Germans,” McManus continued, “and who Hitler was targeting, step by step by step: the infirmed, the elderly, the mentally challenged and ultimately the Jews in the Final Solution.”
McManus may have the origin of this famous quote wrong. It is believed that it was Bonhoeffer’s friend, the pastor Martin Niemoller, who originated the words:
First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.
Then they came for the socialists
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist.
Then they came for Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.
