I thought I would mention that there are a lot of people that believe that America was wrong to enter into WW2. That Hitler was actually on the correct side when they were fighting against Communist Russia. I have an acquaintance at work that believes this very thing and has given me some information that if believed, would add support to this belief. In the end, because the information was too much for me to wade through, I decided to steer clear of the issue and because he says he is a Christian. I try largely to steer most of our discussions towards Scripture.
I have unfortunately wasted a lot of time researching conspiracies such as Germany during WW2 and many other such conspiracies that people make me aware of. In the end however, I am finding that in most cases I have wasted my time and most of the information, I would not really know what to do with in the end anyway. The world today is full of its depravity; but as I think about it in light of the Gospel; I am reminded that although I may not be able to understand what is and what is not conspiracy etc…I can have confidence that God is sovereign through-out His creation and as RC Sproul once said:
Quote
Nothing escapes God’s notice; nothing oversteps the boundaries of His power. God is authoritative in all things. If I thought even for one moment that a single molecule were running loose in the universe outside the control and domain of almighty God, I wouldn’t sleep tonight. My confidence in the future rests in my confidence in the God who controls history. https://www.ligonier.org/blog/if-god-sovereign-why-pray/

As I think about what RC Sproul said here. There have been times when I have been so engrossed in finding out the truth about controversies, that I found it hard to keep my eyes on where my confidence should rest. This is largely because my time of study of the controversy became a lot more than my time in prayer and study/reading God's Word.
As a result, my spiritual life suffers and I loose sleep, get depressed etc...

I have become convinced from talking to Christians, on that last point. I am definitely not alone.
