I think that Jesus had a message of love, peace, forgiveness, and good will to all men, in a time where people in general were horrible, evil, violent, sexist, racist, you name it, they were just bad. If you believe the story, he died to try to make the world a better place for us. I don't believe that even he believed in all the nonsense written in either the old or new testament, he just knew that the only way he could make any sort of change in the horrible religious fascist totalitarian Nazi state he lived in was to make a new religion where the God was loving and good, not evil and judgemental.
Now I could live with Christianity if they just listened to what Jesus said, and didn't try to make him a God, and threw out all the nonsense in the old testament. But it isn't like that. **** is messed up.
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.
