sue me if you will (dare,  ) I am no believer. I have been to church several times, and i ve seen faithful people pray and sing their praise to Jesus. While I was slightly affected by their ensuthiasm, I wasn't moved. Am I cold blooded or evil? err... i guess Jesus wouldn't say that.
anyway, i think, Christian to you guys are more like a way of life, or a personal code. I am not pretending i understand any of you, though. I am just saying, as an entity, do you realy believe Jesus? or do you rather follow the wisedom that showed in christianlity?
I am just curious

Well, yeah, I have to say I believe what he said and that he is an entity. All he taught and said was hinged around him being God-become-man. He was either a nutcase or a liar or what he said he was, or people have massively distorted what he said. I gave a reply to Raistlin in an earlier thread regarding my thoughts on the historical accuracy, and he seemed far too logical for a nutter, and too caring and giving to be a liar.
Without going into my interconnected world view, it makes perfect sense to me.
I've also seen the difference he has made in peoples lives.
BTW I wouldn't say you are cold blooded or evil 250. I wouldn't start dancing to a song I wasn't into. So why should you get 'moved'.
Hey have you seen the Last temptation of Christ? A lot of Christians boycotted and protested it, but I thought it was one of the most incredible movies I've ever seen. No it wasn't portraying the Jesus I 'know', but it did serve to highlight that everything he did led up to the one end. Him dying for humanity. Blew me away the way it was done, even the 'Last temptation' of a wife and family, rather than death on a cross.
Boy are we going off topic
