Hitler
stayed in power for so long because of his nimble ability to brainwash the German people through his speeches and apt use of propaganda.

The man was stern,
but highly evocative
and appealed to the emotions of the people

The way he spoke resonated and was filled with
confidence that happiness
WOULD eventuate from their tough times

What he preached appealed to the German people who wanted answers and sercurity
so badly

Hitler....

                    Jesus....

synonymous?
or me overthinking things
most probably the latter

but


i was in church and during the sermon all i heard was-
"jesus said this"
&
"the bible says this"

and it just seemed like I was a vulnerable person looking for stability
and getting so caught up in it, was willing to believe anything



the Bible and Church offer me that stability.

they give me that assurance that life doesnt just end,
there IS something more

they give me certainty about life and that i am going to be something

                         ...if i follow Jesus' path

I resent being told that a person who died for me wont look out for me in the after life because i didnt follow his rules

to me,
no matter what i do,
even if i break every rule
im pretty sure he still loves me

but im still so scared into submission that
i do follow the rules


perhaps
i dont know my religion well enough

or

perhaps
i dont know myself well enough
