Addendum to the Religion Question (Because nobody ever asks me)
I think that Jesus The Christ existed. However, I think that he was also elevated into mythology. Jesus was the son of God but I believe that we all are. I think that Jesus was just more in touch with his internal God-self and that’s scary to folks who don’t want or can’t touch their God self. Because of that, he was simultaneously literally and figuratively crucified. Then after he died, they made a religion of him to separate themselves from his actions. So it was like “worship Jesus” rather than “be like Jesus.” Christians became Christians to avoid being Christ like. You can’t worship someone else and still locate the authentic and beautiful and special parts about you. Which is why imitation though flattering to the object is limiting and poison to the one doing the imitating.
Does that make sense? No. Forget you then.
