I just believe in humanity and I think Jesus was a human being--if he really existed as explained in the Bible or not. To me that is child's stuff and I finally have been able to put that away.

I've lived longer than the life span of the average person and I don't see an end in sight for me yet. But, who knows? (knock, knock--who's there, the boogie man?).

There is a great deal of good in the Bible and if any person is raised on much of what it teaches they will, more than likely, make it pretty good in a world under its control. After all is said and done, it is a major building block of our social structure--almost impossible to dismiss after so many generations have come and gone.

The Koran provides the same tool for the World of Islam just as Torah guides Jewish children down a path of discipline. Nazi fascism would have performed the same task for its followers were it not for the outrage against it.

Someplace in the all but ignored and forgotten past here at Suite101.com I brought up the idea of an ongoing struggle. Jesus is a very important part of that struggle; but, he was conscripted by religionism to carry out certain tasks of keeping people in bondage. His message was--thoroughly--one of liberation. How come he came to be the chief warden of the prison?
.
Did it start with Constantine and the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church or was it already in place--put there by the Caesars? Maybe Moses is behind it all? Who knows? Do you?
.
I'm still on a learning curve and trying not to be glued to a perch in some guilded cage.
