re is it good that jesus died brian lpl arizona edu brian ceccarelli writes so what is your beef against jesus first and foremost i honestly do not believe that jesus was anything more than a man who lived and died two thousand years ago i know your bible provides wonderful stories of the things he said and did but i simply do not believe that he still exists as an entity that has any bearing on this universe or the lives in it and i similarly do not believe that the god that you worship exists or has ever existed period i view religion in general and christianity in specific as a cultural virus that has been passed down from generation to generation because people are often too afraid to think for themselves and claim responsibility for their own fate so they brainwash themselves and their children into believing the popular myths and it goes on from there and eventually christianity becomes a given if so many other people believe in it it must be right no i don t believe in any life after death i believe that when i die i die so therefore it s up to me to try to bring meaning and purpose to my life in the meantime i don t believe that it s a good thing to humble myself and view pride as a sin pride in moderation is a constructive thing i see nothing at all wrong with homosexuality and nothing inferior about women and my priests lost a lot of my trust when they patronizingly tried to explain the faults of these opinions to me i don t believe in loving everyone especially people i ve never met while i try to show respect to everyone my love and admiration is something not easily earned and i do not feel guilty about denying my respect and consideration to someone who has abused it if you want me to take your religion the least bit seriously stop trying to show me how the bible makes sense start trying to show me that this jesus person is somehow still influencing anyone s life here on earth brian kendig je ne suis fait comme aucun bskendig netcom com de ceux que j ai vus j ose croire n etre fait comme aucun de ceux qui existent the meaning of life si je ne vaux pas mieux au moins je suis autre is that it ends rousseau
