The film [the white Ribbon] does try to use German Fascism as an example, but not specifically Fascism. . . the results of German Fascism. It shows how people are prepared or indoctrinated for an ideology. . . people who are already in a state of repression who have been humiliated by society and who clasp at a straw that's offered to them. And how that's then developed into a form of indoctrination.
Nothing that comes from God will minister to my pride of self-congratulation. If I am tempted to be complacent and to feel superior because I have had a remarkable vision or an advanced spiritual experience, I should go at once to my knees and repent of the whole thing. I have fallen victim to the enemy.
