Watching the Christ Files was interesting in some parts but, in most, I was a little confused and bored.
I really liked the visual effects they had throughout the film, it helped me to understand what it was like back then, geographically at least.
The files made me respect the historians who work on discovering more about Christianity and show that there are quite significant facts been the religion.

Little Class Tasks
Words Associated With Light:
Happiness

Good Health
Grace
Rightfulness
I think if they went to a councilor for help or doctor to prescribe antidepressants they would also feel better, medication is a form of 'the light of God's truth'.
They did it because they were in war conditions, they were stuck in that mind set, not thinking rationally, sadly this thing has happened on numerous accounts throughout history.

RE Task
Malcolm X-
I believe that what X says is very true, why should we treat people with respect if they don't give it back? Respect is earned not just handed out. He is a tad too violent, wouldn't be giving him a gun any time soon. If someone touched you, that shouldn't give you the right to kill them. Yet, he makes sense when saying why would I tolerate a religion that doesn't give me freedom or believe the same things I do (not sure what religion he is talking about but I don't have that issue).
King Jr-
He means well but perhaps he needs to reconsider loving the haters, you don't have to hate the haters but I wouldn't love them either. He is right with everything that he saying about light can only drive out darkness, that sometimes you do have to suck it up and be the bigger man.
I think if you combine both of these mens opinions you would have a very sensible and wise man, making all the right decisions.
