Luther wrote the “95 Theses” because he saw that the church was doing wrong and he decided that it should be changed. But King Henry VIII only formed the Church of England only to divorce his wife so he could have a son. One man fought for he thought was right and the other did out of selfishness. Even though many man and women do things like they mean well their motives may say otherwise. They could it out of love the need to be free or they could do it out of hate selfishness witch doesn’t make it

Furthermore he imprisoned monks. Finally John was cruel because he hated his wife because in a source from Matthew Paris it says ‘he hated his wife’. Also in 1194 he beheaded French knights before he became king. This evidence seems to show that John had many faults and he shouldn’t have been king because he was too cruel which wouldn’t have been good for the barons or the people of England. And he taxed people too much which would make the people rebel against him.
Galileo was imprisoned for his belief in the Copernican theory. Even though this theory is true, the Church was enraged of him publishing a book and trying to spread the word of this theory. Galileo displayed many acts of moral courage. These acts demonstrate a connection between the Holocaust and Galileo’s acts of moral courage. The personal impact of these events have been apparent to me.
Vladimir’s dialogue “One of the thieves was saved” introduces one of the central tenets of Christianity that human beings are essentially sinful and have to be saved. Hence, Christ is also referred to as the ‘Saviour’. The souls have to wait for the judgement hour before God passes verdict on all the dead. Hence Vladimir talks about the thief who was saved by Jesus Christ when they were both being crucified. As the play points out, of the four evangelists who witnessed the crucifixion only one speaks of the saving of one of the two thieves who were crucified along with Jesus Christ, whereas the other three only make passing references to the thieves.

Some of the events that occurred where World War One which had a catastrophic impact on Russia at the time, the lack of Faith in the Tsar as he had lost one war before and was losing another, the lack of faith in reforms such as the October Manifesto as that was revoked after only a few years and the lack of military conduct as the Cossacks the Tsars most loyal and ruthless troops left him as they wanted change like everybody else. World War One was defiantly one of the main factors that caused the fall of the Tsar as it truly showed to everyone that he was a terrible Country leader as people were dying in the city’s, because they had no food, fuel in 1905 life never got that tough for the people as they had enough to survive but as all the transport links where being used for moving the military so food was left on the docks to rot, as the people in the city’s had no food people started to start Bread riots to try to get the Tsars attention as they really had no food and it was there last resort. Furthermore people had no clean Living and working conditions a lot worse than before. These Factors started to turn everyone against the Tsar as they could see how terrible he really was and how much he wasn’t helping the country or its people which finally lead the end of the Tsar.
Monks believed people were only sick because God was punishing them for something they had done. The Church believed that illness was a physical sign of sin or weakness of the soul. Both severe physical and mental illnesses were blamed on oneself for taking the “wrong path” at some point in ones life. Some people in Europe blamed the Jews for poisoning the water or practicing witchcraft (Knox). But on the contrary, most public officials believed that it wasn’t revenge from God, it wasn’t the Jews or even a weakness of the soul, but just a disease (Knox).
It taste like eating a camel's hump. Turns out, many people have made this mistake of thinking something is good, then realizing it is not so good after all. Take the crusades for example, many thought they were doing the right thing by trying to take over the Holy Lands, but they were mistaken and ended up killing hundreds of thousands of people.
