Are we just supposed to believe the various authors of the books of the Bible, that God made them write? Where's the evidence?

It is very easy for the people of other faiths to point fingers on a particular faith. So the best thing is talk to people of faith about controversial issues. Many of the times, people do not have the reasonable answers and that's when you refer to the scriptures.

Many of the times, the scripture itself has answers to many things, if you start reading them with an open mind.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
