I think to survive in the future , people will have to realise that they are the ones responsible for our future and not some god. Sorry to say but I think you have it backwards.
That is a matter of belief AJ I don't think that the bible is sufficient evidence of the existence of God, and the events it describes regarding the tribulation are nonsensical and untrue. Prophecies have existed for thousands of years and none of them have come true. They have been reinterpreted by future generations as fulfilled but that can be done with all prophecies.
End time prophecy especially as that described in the bible are nothing but falsities with no factual basis. I bet that it is most likely that 2,000 years from now if Christianity still exists; they will still be announcing the coming of Christ. I am over all of those delusions, and feel comfortable with the life I have in the here and now.
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.
