Talking with the Lady E

[azurelunatic]

AzureLunatic (7:16:50 PM): But, everyone should
emulate Jesus in realizing that, as we are all One, all
Our sins are belong to Us, and take responsibility for
them.

AzureLunatic (7:17:06 PM): Just don't ask me to bow
down and kiss His toenails.

AzureLunatic (7:17:37 PM): or abide by ancient
sanitation laws made obsolete with modern technology.

AzureLunatic (7:18:24 PM): Or listen to the directives of
a pissy jealous war god.

I thought that was very well thought and valid. I have been having many musings myself, especially since meeting Jason (liberal Christian), about my feelings about having "christ in my life". I was so busy trying to distance myself from all ties with christianity, that I was missing the essential message of jesus's life. Which is very similar to what you just wrote.

I figure it is the details that we all tend to trip on. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter whether god(s) created us, or we created them; Whether jesus was the actual son of a deity or a holy man who was so full of life that he and the source of life were inseperable;whether we put all our sins on a god or take them upon ourselves to cleanse; the power of life, love, and conscience still exists no matter what the details, and that is what we need to pay attention to.
So yes, I suppose now it is possible to be a non-christian who lives in the spirit of Jesus.

Or my favorite: contradictions do not exist. when you find yourself faced with a seeming contradiction that you cannot move beyond, you must first check your premises.

Thanks.
