To break down borders and realise that we are one species and then the true patriotism comes from pride and love of the human race, not from the tribes of which we currently are divided, open your eyes your mind will see! - ME

    Jesus is God. The Holy Trinity is made up the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. Humans are formed in the image of God and are referred to as children of God, but we are not God (like Jesus).

    what about hinduism and buddhism?
    with the hindu and buddhist way we all are a buddha.
    it is said we all have a buddha inside of each of us.
    but buddha never claimed to be a god.
    yet they believe everything is god.
    its got something to do with enlightenment and being one with everything.
    i hope im not getting any of this info wrong.
    im not an expert in this field.

    I think Jesus was pretty special. IMO, I think there is a lot of confusions and misconceptions about Jesus. I think people 'worship' him or attack him more than they actually listen to what he had to say. Jesus ultimately was a poet and artist. Jesus seldom preached or moralized. Jesus was the master artist of life and he took life as the raw material to express his soul & he brought quality to life. It is often hard to get to the essence of Jesus through the filter of institutionalized religion. Due to this, there are a lot of negative ideas people have about Jesus. Firstly, he was not a hellfire & brimstone preacher. Something that comes to mind is when he asked us to seek spiritual guidance from little children opposed to the moralizing & proper Pharisees. Secondly, he was not a moralist. Goodness can not be compelled, it has to be a spontaneous expression of the soul. Above all, Jesus was a lover of life.

    I will also add that Jesus was the original liberal and a radical one at that! Might explain the socks with sandals. ;)

    I've been saying this for years! :D He was all about spreading the love and being anti violence and non-judgemental. He spoke out against corruption. And the sandals, long hair..of course...he couldn't be more liberal! :p

    Amen, sister! Ha ha.:D With the exception of maybe one pronouncement on divorce, I don't think there is any concept that was spoken by Jesus which even remotely supports or resembles the conservative's most cherished beliefs.

    Quite the "lumping" of a belief system there baraka. You presume to know what every conservative holds as a cherished belief? Why is it if a "conservative" makes a sweeping denouncement of liberal beliefs, he/she is jumped on, but comments like yours go untouched?

    I have a better question. How is it that freepers still exist even after everything they have supported these past four years has crumbled under the weight of their own bullshit?

    Could it be Jesus?

    Yeah, perhaps I equate conservative with the current administration and the talking heads. You're right, not all conservatives hold the same beliefs.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    A friend and me had to do a presentation about Jesus Christ Superstar and my friend said superman, we sticked with it and kept calling the musical Jesus Christ Superman.
