Honestly how many of you would still follow religion if there were no threat of damnation in hell?

If that's what you think. I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong. You confuse what is a caution of consequence with a threat to induce fear.

Yet if God never previously informed us of the consequence of rejecting him while giving the freedom to do so he would not be just....you're informed and the choice is yours, be man enough to own it because you will be stuck with it. The idea that Christians have fear proves how little you even understand - a genuine believer chooses Christ in love not fear and the result of doing so is the absence of fear or threat as a bonus to the reward of glory, freedom from the curse and penalty of the law and all the other things that far outweigh your own mis-perceptions of that which you clearly fail to understand properly.

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom, But in the love of the Lord is Wisdom made complete.

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.
