Re: AardigeAfrikaner
On this subject I almost fully agree with you. I wouldn't say "NEVER", since I know of some Christians who are not like you describe, but I certainly know many who are no better than their own Satan in being very quick to judge and treat others poorly who disagree with them, while they pretend to be holy and overflowing with love. We humans are critical by nature and we all try to get our points of view across to others. I am somewhat harsh with words on the subject myself, but then again I'm not trying to convince anybody that I'm a saint either. My God is Reality as such and as such the source of good
and evil and I'll be the first to admit that I have severe shortcomings according to the judgements of those who attempt to convince others that they are somehow better because of their ability to keep a certain pose and quote certain books. I usually refer to these judges as people possessed by sin, since that is usually all they are busy with; other peoples sins.

If you look at what Christ preached, and not what is practiced by
Christians, then there is a lot of good there. If he had been a real person,
there would have been a lot that could have been learned from his ideas. I have
never once tried to say otherwise. I do not know if he as real or not, most
likely the concept was based off of a real person though. However, I have no
doubt at all in my mind that all the supernatural aspect were 100% added after
his life time in order to make him into something bigger. Regretfully it is
rare to find actual Christians who truthfully follow the real heart and soul of
the teachings of Christ. In some ways that is one of the greatest weaknesses of
those beliefs. The whole idea of ' he who is without sin throw the first stone'
or 'do unto other as you would have them do unto you ' are very powerful and
relevant concepts, that are NEVER really used by modern Christians. They
instead look for reason to judge and treat others poorly for being different
than they are.

The ideals taught by this man (regardless of fact or myth) has revolutionized the world in a way that your thoughts will probably never do. Just in case you complain about the horrible acts some of those who claim to follow him have committed throughout history, they would most likely have done the same under any other name or creed.
Question: If he was a real man and you lived in his time and you knew him and his teaching as can be gathered from reading the gospels, would you have been his friend or would you have cheered his murderers on?
