What would life be like if the Nazi’s won World War II?
Life as we know it in the West today would be completely different.The UK, run by a heavily pro-German fascist government, would be Nazi Germany’s right hand man when it came to international affairs and general relations. German Wehrmacht troops would frequently find themselves on the British Isles, quelling rebellions and enforcing the Nazi ideals, similar to what happened in Vichy France during the war. Many fanatical Brits would likely join the Waffen-SS (or its peacetime equivalent), while the actual British military would be used primarily for maintaining its overseas empire. Soldiers would swear an oath of loyalty to the fascist regime, in turn pledging themselves to fight for the Nazis as the government would simply be a puppet, operated by the higher-ups in Germania (Europe’s new capital, built on the marshy foundations of what was once Berlin).Britain’s puppet government would happily collaborate and co-operate with the Germans, handing over the ‘undesirables’ to the SS; in occupied Europe as a whole, the Holocaust would be far deadlier than it was in our timeline. This is because without Allied intervention, the genocide would result in extermination of all of Europe’s untermensch (except those kept alive as slaves for the regime).Life in general (for an Aryan ethnic) would not be too hard however. Over the decades, education would legitimise the Nazi regime and their ideals into the minds of the youth, meaning that generations born after the war would be subservient to the Nazis and as such would find no issue with the totalitarian society that they live in. Such ‘social norms’ would include mass surveillance, police brutality perpetrated mainly by the secret police, and a general acceptance and admiration of German culture by the masses.Education in particular would be divided by gender; for boys, school would have a heavy emphasis on sports, the sciences and history. Girls education would instead focus on preparing them to bear children and how to be a good housewife - the modern equivalents of these subjects would likely be textiles/sewing, child development and cooking.

While "Thou shalt not kill" is a Christian commandment and literally everyone was religious in the Middle Ages, why were so many people killed back then?
As others have said, the commandment is “thou shall not murder”, but that misses the point. The murder levels in medieval cities would make modern day Baltimore look like giant pacifist convention. Amsterdam, in the 15th century had a per capita murder rate that is 30 times higher than the modern city. So, wars and state sanctioned torture and execution aside, why was murder so prevalent in the Middle-Ages despite the fact that everybody was religious?The reasons are, obviously, very complex, but it is worth remembering that many people simply paid lip-service to the the dominant Catholic/Christian faith whilst maintaining earlier faith traditions. The Church had a monopoly on rites of passage, going back to the 11th century. So, the records of marriage and death were of Christian ceremonies, but the folk-record suggests that most people were no more Christian than they had to be. The pagan festivals had, by the Middle-Ages, become Christian feast days and holy days, but all the evidence suggests that they stuck to their pagan heritage. Carnival is the prime example, with its focus on indulgence and excess and also the role reversals with The Fool becoming the Carnival King and men cross-dressing as women.
Tithing was removed according to Ephesians 2:15 , gift is what Jesus command to give but why both?
Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. <<< YOU SEE WHAT YAHSHUA COMMANDED?? YOU OUGHT TO PAY TITHE AND NOT LEAVE TITHING UNDONE Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, << SO NOW YOU THINK YOU CAN BREAK THEM ....... MORE??? they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 1Ti 1:8 But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully; 1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and >>>for sinners<<<, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, >>>>and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; <<<< THE LAW DETERMINES WHAT SOUND DOCTRINE IS 1Ti 1:11 According to the glorious gospel YOU OBVIOUSLY TEACH A FALSE GOSPEL and are therefor accursed... Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Thithing today consists of everything and not a tenth. True believers ARE THE OFFERING. Yahshua is the example of this fact. By the way tithing actually, when added up all year, the daily, the weekly, the monthly, the annual, this was basically heavier than our present Federal tasation system in the US. Rating higher than 50% according to some. Not to mention the year of Jubilee if someone owed you.
