My thoughts on Jesus [1]
Let me start by saying that nobody knows the facts about Jesus, because we were not alive, so absolutely everything we believe is based strictly off what we are taught by our parents or churches. To blindly believe everything we hear is like playing the game telephone and defensively and forcefully saying it's impossible the message had changed by the end, even though it's impossible to know what the original message was. That being said, here is what I think about Jesus.
Jesus was a human being. He did not walk on water, change water into wine, miraculously heal people, etc. He was a great person. He was kind, generous, loving, compassionate, and people during that time spoke highly of him for that. The church made up the fact that Jesus did all these things for one reason: control. The catholic church is a sick, disgusting, power-hungry, corrupt organization, and to blindly follow everything said by an organization who money launders millions of dollars, rapes little boys, etc. is a pretty ignorant thing to do. The church from what I see says this: "Be like Jesus, even though it's impossible because he walked on water, etc." But what if Jesus was just a humanitarian? Someone who put others before himself, someone who did not want followers but co-creators. Then we actually could be like Jesus, which scares people from what I have seen. But instead people get defensive and try to force their beliefs on others, but guess what? I doubt that is what Jesus would do. Jesus would let you believe whatever you want, be whoever you want, and love you for it. He did not force his beliefs upon others, he treated everyone with kindness regardless of race, social status, amount of money, etc.
Another thing I would like to touch on is the whole "Jesus is our savior" thing. I will probably get a lot of shit for this, but frankly I don't care. To think one man took on all of our "sins" is so disgusting and rude I can't even explain it using words. Why can't people take responsibility for their own actions, instead of pawning it off on someone else, let alone someone like Jesus? When Jesus was alive, he was trying to help people discover the divinity within themselves, because everyone has it within them to be like Jesus. Jesus just touched into his true self, and saw past the illusions presented by the government of the time period. If Jesus was truly our savior, then we would have realized by now that we are all God, expressed as billions, who have amnesia to our divinity. I know many people find it hard to believe that we are all just like Jesus on the inside, but that is simply caused by conditioning and programming by the powers that be. Did you ever notice that it was called "television programming" for a reason? And don't even get me started on the education system. If Jesus was looking down on us right now, he'd probably be shaking his head, like a parent who tells their child not to do something over and over again and yet they do it anyway. He wants us to discover our divinity, not keep dwelling on his. We have the power to make this planet everything we want it to be, but that won't happen until we stop letting it be ruled by 1% of the population who has 99% of everything. We have been conditioned for generations, which is why it is hard to get out of, but if we start to discover our true selves, our true divinity, we can change this planet into the heaven on Earth that it can be.
