Dissuasion from the Lord

Like many of the others posting herein, I was "dissuaded" by the realization that many of the teachings of Christ have been corrupted to the point of being unrecognizable.

In order to make such a grand statement, you first need to claim complete understanding (never mind access to) the real, uncorrupted ideas that Chirst conveyed. To claim expertise (such as pronouncing certain ideas "unrecognizable") means to claim full access to the source.

Preposterous.
