Blacknad writes about his Christian belief: "Feel free to call us fools - Christ said you would. Feel free to call us deluded simpletons - it doesn?t matter.
But please don?t always try and associate us with evil and ignore the good that is done in Christ?s name. Even the president of the American Humanist Association is prepared to admit that alongside the evils that have been done in its name, religion has been a force for good."
Replying in the positive: I heartily agree.
JESUS NEVER WROTE A BOOK, HE LIVED A LIFE
I always try to keep in mind: Jesus did not give us a set of dogmas to be believed, rituals to be performed and not even a set of fixed rules and regulations to be followed; he gave us the example of his life based on the principle of agape/love.
It is my opinion that if Jesus had any intention of forming an organized earth-bound religion he would have written a book giving details about how he wanted such a religion to operate.
BTW, all organized religions can be used for good, or ill. Corrupt people can corrupt anything, including philosophy and science.
