I happen to agree with many of Jesus teachings...However, there is no need to inject magic and supernatural meaning into what he says. Jesus was no different than any other philosopher yet we don't see folks dying over David Hume.

The reason I said what I said about Jesus is he never rejected Leviticus and the simply disgusting things spread all through "god's law"...This leaves the door wide open for nut jobs! Jesus actually voiced his strong support for such barbaric laws. Yes, there are conflicting messages but "god's law" is what it is! BARBARIC!

We don't need "religion" and "myths" to follow the teachings of any human being including Jesus...Once magic and the after life are injected and the ultimatum is set "Except Jesus or burn in hell" his teachings become garbage! You may choose to ignore the bad side of Jesus and thats your choice but as long as so called moderates do this then the nut jobs can operate as a "normal" part of society.

We have religion to thank for women not being treated as equals and GLTB people being treated as second class citizens...The distrust of science and much much more!
