It's the only way to live, if you are a slave to the unstoppable Roman Empire.

You can't exactly have a One True God who exacts hellfire and physical punishments to non-believers if they've just set up a giant idol of Jupiter in the Temple of Jerusalem.

Kind of ruins the whole damn thing, doesn't it?

how do I set an avatar on my profile by the way?

jesus may or may not have existed
im no christian....I could care less
the ideas and concepts behind the an I believe were to instill positivity and provide soewhat of a basis of lessons to apply in life
Same goes with any ascended masters....
who cares if the man walked Earth or if he was made up...How many songs have artists wrote about a subject that never actually happened but the song itself conveys an important essage or idea...
I mean really if Jesus did exist today im sure he would be more angry at the fact that people debate the idea of him rather than the ideas presented by him..
I believe same goes for all religious figures
Some want to hold on to theirs for dear life
Others refuse to accept these so called miracle prophets or whatever existed
and others still realize that it wasnt the person it was the idea
to each his own...though I guess with any great movement of any sorts the idea usually falls second to the person speaking it

So not breaking news, but interesting nonetheless. Expect this to be moved to the religious conspiracies forum.
