Poetic Essay: Good and Evil: Jesus and Hitler

The two most iconic events and stories in American History and World History, in my own opinion, are World War II, and the Bible. They focus on two central figures: One the definition of good guy (religion), and the other the definition of bad guy (genocide, war).

·       

      Jesus H Christ

·       Adolf Hitler

·       Jesus was God

·       Hitler was Satan

·       Jesus was the Hero

·       Hitler was the Villain

·       Hitler Started and Built a War

·       Jesus Started and Built a Religion

Both men are clearly the figureheads of their stories

But what do we truly know of the stories of World War II and the life and teachings of Jesus. Both stories are epics. Large in scope, with many main and minor characters and players, that travel to lands far and wide, whose word of mouth has reached every corner of the globe.

·       Religion and Military.

·       Peace and War

I want to know more about history. I feel as though knowing more about history, studying history, would enhance my literature.

The Story of Jesus of Nazareth is a complex and longwinded one. Just as the story of WWII is. But the two stories are not one and the same. One is a story of sin against humanity, the other a story of saints against sin. There's plenty of violence and prejudice in both genre of stories, but that doesn't make them any less compelling and dynamic of a set of narratives.

Jesus was born in a manger on what would come to be known as Christmas Day, to the Virgin Mary and Father Joseph of Nazareth. Jesus died on the cross, sold out by his former "disciple", Judas; crucified and looked down upon by the Jewish Roman Empire. And upon his death, Jesus may or may not have Ascended to Heaven from the Hands of Death, only to be reunited with the Lord Father God.
