I have a hard time believing the Bible because this book was written YEARS after the death of Jesus. I believe Jesus lived and Jesus was a great man. I DO NOT believe that Jesus was the only son of God. We are all sons and daughters of God. Buddah was a son of God, Jesus was the son of God, Muhammad was the son of God etc. I do not believe the bible is a true text of Gods word. I believe Jesus was a great man, I am NOT debating that. I am debating that Christianity is the only way. So -- they are the things that i have a hard time with regarding Christianity.
Jesus is Just alright by the Doobie Brothers, Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode,
I am a gay woman who thinks that Jesus was a wonderful man and a wonderful son of God, just as Buddah and Mahammhad were wonderful sons of God. We are all sons and daughters of God. I do not hate Jesus, what I hate is the PEOPLE who try to condemn me because of my choices. They are not God. What also is aggravating is when they quote Bible quotes at me -- to me the Bible is not THE word of God. There are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many religions, each saying they are the right ones ---- I believe no religion has all the truth -- but what underlies religions are love, patience, tolerance etc. THAT is what is important. To me the Bible is no more representative of God's word as my sisters book on the Easter Bunny is a true representation of the Easter Bunny. ----------------------- It is unfortunate that some "Christians" look at homosexuals like they would look at the dog poop on the bottom of their shoe ------- That is what I hate.
THey would all laugh at the ridiculousness of people and how we definately distorted what their message was supposed to be. They would all agree that just as they all drove down a different path to get to get to McDonald's they all arrived there. Just as well all make take a differnt path in life, but no one is better than another. To say that Jesus is the way does not prove that the Bible is Gods exclusive word any more than my niece's book on the Easter Bunny proves the Easter Bunny.
