You are exactly as I was.... by 11, the whole ideas of religions just seemed utterly nuts, but I grew up in a time of no computers, no internet, and three televisions channels.. NBC, CBS, ABC.... and that was it! Now, you research anything on the internet. At 12, you havent had a ton of science yet, so I won't try to explain evolution to you, but some really neat thi First, why sin is just utterly stupid.... but THE trick to get believers to believe... it works like this:... Sin is an imaginary disease, invented to sell you an imaginary cure... And the imaginary cure, ---TADA--- is RELIGION!.
This just goes to show that religion is both barbaric and a lying scam. No civilized person today, or ever, holds the descendents of someone accused of something to be culpable. Just because your daddy shot someone, doesn’t mean that YOU pay the penalty!
Even if the Adam and Eve myth were true, it cannot apply to ANYONE currently alive today, for the obvious reason that no one currently alive was alive and present when Adam and Eve were sinning. Looking at this this way, it’s pretty silly, isn’t it? The whole doctrine of 'sin' is based on a really barbaric idea.
Sin doesn’t exist today, either. It is an imaginary idea to keep control of you. For unquestioning believers, it works.... they pony up money, pray, hope and believe....with no evidence.
There are stupid acts that will get you jail time, or a fine, or have your honey leave you but sin? Ridiculous....utterly ridiculous, yet some people believe this stuff.... amazing. Try this too.
If you think of spirituality apart from the concept of God you will understand that spirituality is an inseparable part of human life and they can`t go on without it as a whole. For milleniums humanity have worked on to find who manages and controlles the hole things that happends in the nature and skyes. They started with the concept of Gods (paganism), after that a revolutionary-highet way of humanity thinking happened- some prophets had a real call inside maybe from mother nature; that Gods didn't exist and also everything had a biggening a moment of creation of birth- in Universe.
The prophets with thier spiritualism went in a paralelizm with scientist discovery- which was; the hole universe had a its moment of birth- from the big beng theory. Did anyone thought about nature right`s till now? I belive if you love nature you love everything possibly related to it in a bigger scale- probably God is related to it who knows exactly.
Good Luck.
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.
