a) Jesus Christ was a real person; b) Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

The claim that Jesus rose from the dead is an extraordinary claim. To substantiate this claim, we must be supplied with extraordinary evidence. We have not been supplied with extraordinary evidence.

Making the world a better place doesn't matter.

The fact that the world will end in billions of years is irrelevant to individual humans who only live for a few decades and who's well-being can be improved by our efforts to "make the world a better place".

a) Jesus Christ was a real person; b) Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

The only evidence that has been supplied is the account provided by the Gospel scriptures. This is not sufficient evidence to accept such an extraordinary claim. There exist no contemporaneous accounts that specifically corroborate the resurrection story.

9/11 was an inside job.

If we assume that the motive for this alleged "inside-job" would be to justify aggressive foreign policy, it would have been sufficient to just fly the planes into the buildings. It would still have been horrific even if the buildings didn't collapse.
