It's not pride discipler. That's such a cop out way of putting it "You're too proud to follow my Christ!"
It's retuning my brain to think i'm sinful no matter what i do. And abandoning all feeling of innocence. Cos when we are born we're happy and innocent until nutters like you go around telling everyone that we've all sinned whether we like it or not. And it's not pride, because to feel sin you have to feel significant enough. I'm happy thinking i'm the most insignificant non-entity in the universe, like all the other insignificant non-entities. To follow your Christian dogma you have to be proud enough to believe in your own damn significance, and then that the cosmos, the universe, God actually gives a fuck about you seeking redemption. That's pretty damn self satisfying if you ask me.

My opinion, and its just my opinion nobody as to belive or to folow, is that the greatest religion is that one that dont exist because its the one that put together the best of each religion. In the end its not a religion its just a state of mind.

I agree with you Jaline,
But I think people buy into the false dilemma and dogma of religion out of some need to judge others. They're creating identities for themselves by forcing people into some kind of other existence by their mere lack of belief or specific agreement. It's not really about faith, truth, or enlightenment at all.

oops..I guess that was really in response to what Elfangio wrote.

I think it's significant that Jesus loved and honored those "outside the faith" in his day. He attended banquets with drunkards, prostitutes and tax collectors. He elevated the role and dignity of women in a culture that repressed them. This is why the religious of his day, hated him. He was real. Which is why it baffles me how so many have turned following Christ into a religious thing that alienates so many.

discipler- because they turned an exemplary person, like Ghandi or someone, into a fuckin cult.

I disagree. The root stems from Constantine's marriage of Greek paganism with early Christianity. And God has always kept a remnant of churches that believe and teach his way.

haha, you just said it baffles you!

I thought Jesus was a firebrand. I recall stories of calling Pharisees hypocrits and the flipping of money changer's tables and if the book The Revelation of Jesus Christ has anything to do with the real Historic Jesus I doubt calling your detractors and people of other faiths whores and having them devoured is considred very loving.

anyway historical jesus wasn't even unique. His beliefs/parables/teachings were shared by a whole sect of aesthetic jews that none of the orthodox jews liked. He just became a martyr figure for them.

Mimio, Jesus was radical... sure. He exposed the Pharisees for who they were - hypocrites. He called them "White-washed Sepulcres". Clean on the outside but full of rot on the inside. No question that he had a righteous indignation for the religious hypocrites. After all, he was representing the character of the Father. :)
The book of Revelation is Apocolyptic writing (a writing styel which does not exist today). It was given for a specific reason and is highly symbolic. The "whores" your refer to is speaking of a false pseudo-Christian religious system. And they get what they deserve - God's love is in balance with perfect holiness and perfect justice.

everyone in chosstopia is pure like a fresh mountain stream, and after the free sex love, you become more purer the more advanced your sex technique is.
I'm at level one right now but theres like another fourty nine levels of pleasure to attain.

Kuz, that has been one of the skeptic's claims for a long time. The problem is that it contradicts the NT manuscript records which are the most reliable evidence we have of the life and ministry of Jesus.
