Well it sounds like the guy had mental health issues. So you might want to include him and his family in your "prayers". I'm sure they will need it.
By the way, NO real Christian would ever pray a prayer like this. That's not what Christians are, or what Christians do. And I think you know that very well.
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.
