LOL! You want -serious- answers to that? 8^) Different people believe in the same God different ways.
The God of Jews/Muslims/Christians is the God of Abraham. Same God. Just different people believe different things about him.
So think about it. Once you decide to believe in God, what's he like? What does he want from us?
What does he want us to believe? There aren't good clues to be found in nature. Most belief is based on scriptures and doctrines.
Can't be proven or disproven. So different groups have different scriptures, and even those who have the same scriptures interpret them differently. Jews and Christians are both waiting for the Messiah.
Christians are waiting for him to come again, Jews are waiting for him to come the first time. And they don't agree on why he will come and what will happen then. Even Christians and Jews don't believe alike among themselves.
Who's right? Well, they're all equally right. It's natural for people to believe God loves them best.
It's wrong, but natural. Personally I don't think God punishes anyone for believing the wrong thing. He leaves us to figure these things out for ourselves.
I think he wants us all to be tolerant and understanding with each other across lines of belief. The problem with religion is that it is twisted tightly with politics, and politics uses religion to get people to hate each other, to do wars and genocide and so forth. The great irony of history is that all the terrible wars and ancient hatreds and holocausts in history were justified by religions supposedly based on love and tolerance.
Alright, so I guess it's time to bring my experiences and beliefs out on the table: I had a spiritual experience in which I became the universe itself during a deep state of meditation. This is not uncommon; Jim Carrey, Bill Hicks, and many others have had this experience as well. The one thing in common with all our experiences was that we felt a loving being who had unconditional, otherworldly love for the entity that we had managed to become.
We were no longer ourselves; we were the universe. We cannot feel this connection with everything that resides in and is the universe because of the conscious mind's barriers. But an epiphany like that will take them down, along with acid and/or hallucinogens, which is why some tribes still use natural acid to contact their deities.
I asked questions after I had "woken up," and I learned quite a bit. One little bit of information I gathered was that all religions are true, because they lead to the same thing. The only thing that makes it seem otherwise is the fact that mankind has screwed with religion so much so as to fit the views of different cultures.
I don't expect people to understand or accept this just because it's different from the usual Bible BS running rampant on this forum, but it really doesn't matter. It's all a part of the same thing; there will be no difference if belief in God is present or not. I hope I helped give some insight!
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.
