    No I don't think you could call it an autobiography since it wasn't written by jesus. Or really even mostly by anyone that was alive during his time frame.

    I know what stones would do if they were to hit said person. Probably kill her, we don’t want that

    Big of you to admit Bruce. Superman always talks about how you're too prideful

    I left church for good three years ago , but you can still call me father :p
    so, jesus christ seems like a beautiful person at first , saves the udeltrer woman and washes the feet of his desiples , welcomes children and how cool he is when he turned the water into wine .. but thats not the truth really , acctually he discriminated every little thing one may do for fun , and promised to punish who ever commits severly , here on earth and in the afterlife thier souls too , it says in the bible that there is no man without a sin even a new born , so, its obvious that he will burn all of us in hell , maybe he will forgive good christians , but what about millions of more people who were born in other religions or born atheist and never heard of jesus , why should they go to hell ?
    simply look at your local priest gathering money all day and living comfortable and easy , while others in india and africa and all over the world are suffering poverty and hunger and desise and war and death .. they will all go to hell because they didnt believe in jesus and now on earth they deserve what they are getting .. OH how merciful of you jeez !!
    also there has not been found a single evidence of such a man to have existed , unless you want to believe the bible witch is full of mythical events and has been proven wrong all the time !
    We dont need religion to be moral , Religion hijacked morality

    peace, love, generosity, are all very good things.
    a personality cult about jesus, mohammid, moses, buddha, krshna, or any of the rest of them, is a personality cult.

    the story is not as simple as that.
    jesus was not a god. he was a man. with all the good and bad and imperfections that come with the territory.
    in truth we have only the word of the four literate members of his inner circle, with no particular reason to trust nor judge him upon their basis.
    we know he was executed as an enemy combatant by the roman empire, and that three years before his execution, he has started preaching love and peace.
    this is little enough to base an entire brand name flavor upon.

    there is no certain link, between its claims, and a man about whom little else is actually known.
    likewise the bible is a book written by human hands in human ink upon human paper.
    the entirety of which, might well have been written BEFORE the events it describes, by jewish monastics, the essenes,
    possibly the very self same scribes, it so often disparages.

    so i question the basis of your premis, though not your conclusion that organized christianity, along with a number of other beliefs, has indeed hijacked morality and conscience.

    aesceticsm is not morality, however many christians or followers of other faiths may claim it to be.
    there is of course, a natural and real morality, which is not in any way dependent upon blind imatation, nor pronouncements from on high,
    but rather an honest understanding of how conditions experienced, are created, and how to avoid creating those we might wish to avoid.

    According to the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus endorsed all the rules of the Old Testament.

    Well it isnt logic is it. Its an attempt at being humorous. That didn't go that well. If it was to be used in any kind of a logical way it would be something along the line of, one true god can be applied to many religions. So in theory this "God" is a massive player across all races creeds and religions. As the naming convention would suggest.... But It wasn't a logical statement it was a joke.
