Yea. My whole family has decided as a group that I resemble Jesus now. I do everything I can to reject the notion that anything about me is even vaguely jesus-like. Oddly enough that seems to be the only reason they continue insisting it. *sigh* hahahaha
Perception Herbuh, you view it as the weapon used to murder him, which is true however to myself (who always wears a crucifix and never takes it off) it represents his willingness to suffer for what he believed to be for the benefit of the rest of mankind. His willingness to carry the sins of mankind just as he embraced his crucifix as he carried it to where they nailed him to it. It's these reasons I believe in him and his sacrafice, whether or not he was the human embodiment of God, is almost irrelevant to me, it's his boundless love I believe in and these are the reasons I wear a crucifix.
Oh shite HoneyHannah told me yesterday she would leave me(this is my fiance for over 4 months now OK) if I became a Jesus Freak. WTF? I am a kundalini yoga and raw foodist freak! I enjoy the stories about Jesus that depict his missing years as a time when he traveled and learned yoga from the ancient sages of India. Christs death and willingness to sacrafice his life might be meaningful to you beyond life itself but within the ancient technology of kundalini yoga(more ancient that Christ himself) we discover the truth inside our own bodies. Now I feel like a promoter. Whereas evangelists promote belief in christ to be saved whereupon nothing happens one can notice the spirit being awakened in their body with only two minutes of kundalini yoga. I suppose people think something happens when they 'believe in christ' too. I respect that you respect his death, of course. It reminds me of the Star Wars movies when Obi-1 is sliced with a light saber and simply disapears, or in the dark crystal when that ancient complex being passes away and his body slowly sparkles to ether and later on a sage exclaims that if he is dead he could be anywhere!
when the jesus freaks come ringin my doorbell at 8 am askin if they can come talk to me about god, i always say yea sure if i can talk to you about witchcraft.. that usualy scares them away..but i actualy had 1 group decidde to hear me out, & we ended up debatiing which was more benificial, wicca or christianity, & i think 1 of em wasnt entirely a braindead robot & actualy concidered everything i said.. but after that failed to scare em away, i started inviting em in, but tellng them they had to shed theyre clothing to enter into my church..& actualy noones bothered me in over a year now
That's great, and makes me think--going door to door spouting off the touchy subject of religion seems as if it would be a rather dangerous task. So they are either very brave or very stupid.
i'd go door to door preaching about jesus but only if the heathens would eat a handful of mushrooms first before we started talking then maybe they would listen words don't mean shit if you want to magnify god and the holy spirit, then work miracles and if you can't work miracles, then STFU
If I'm gonna start believing in a god of some kind, I'm gonna worship the Greek and Roman gods. They were way cooler.
Hinduism one of the few major religions that i know next to nothing about. (not that i claim to be an expert in any religion, in that sense i have my own religion that comprise of my own personal beliefs) i would be interested in learning about it
of coure we have one christian jesus dogma was spread all over the globe through murder injustice and tyranny thanks for following along as to the hindu tirnity its really simple- creation, preservation, destruction there's hundreds of lesser gods and stuff that all portray various psychological human manifestations and metaphysical attributes of life
Jesus was cool, but christians can be scary people, I tend to go all da vinci code on them just to mess with them for wasting my time
Sorry... my faith has not contributed to any of these aspects. What you are eluding to is mainstream, "religion".
