What was Jesus then?

His story is irrelevant and unnecessary.

We don't need to know about his life or his mission or his purpose or his beliefs or his origins.
We don't need to promote those to anybody else, because they don't need it either.
We don't need his teachings, because he didn't preach anything that hadn't already been taught, or that we couldn't realise for ourselves.
We don't need salvation, because there's no eternal hell to be saved from.
We don't need his payment, because there is no debt.
We don't need him to take our karma, because karma doesn't work that way.
We don't need to fear a judgement day, because there is no ultimate Judge, beside ourselves.

We only need to live our own life.

I couldnt have put it better myself...



I have read two interesting articles recently, one was titled 'Was Jesus a Pagan?', the other 'Was Jesus a Witch'...

He fit into either categories very nicely
