Hi Moo,
I am grateful most voters voted against the RC church.
I believe it is hypocritical and the cause of great suffering, as I have said in other posts.
I think all churches are misguided, even the well-meaning ones.

How's that funny sitcom or book coming on, Moo?
BUT - just because a lot of people and a lot of churches call themselves 'Christian' - please do not lump Christ in there with them. They do NOT follow the teachings of Christ.
He would be horrified - probably is.
The only exception to this is buddhism. Buddism can be argued to be a religion but to those following it its a way of life and they dont consider budhism to be a religous thing but more spiritual
Love everyone (impossible)

OK,
Do you love everyone?
If you do, you are perfect, which no-one in the world is, so, no, you do not.
If you pick someone up it is not love, it is kindness - another one of Jesus's things.
I could turn you to Jesus couldn't I? I just have this feeling that I could.

I too believe Jesus taught buddhism. During his missing years 16 to 30 i think it was Jesus was said to be learning from a place in or near Tibet. In tibet u canfind strinkingly similarities like the prayer beads catholics use and they contain exactly the same number of beads. In fact there is one place that has records of someone from Israel visiting that place 2000yrs ago
