Go figure. I really don't wish to discuss religions...because they ALL suck imho. And yes, Jesus did speak against violence. "He who lives by the sword will die by it." He also said that the prophets needed to be fulfilled, and so He healed the ear of the priest's slave at Gathsemene when he was betrayed. But the real truth is that Jesus NEVER wished to establish a "religion". "Religion" gives people an excuse to be self-righteous. It allows them to judge and kill others that don't believe as they do, whether it's a Jihad or a crusade. "The blind leading the blind." I'll close by saying there is a very big difference between "religion" and "spirituality." I'm not going to try to explain the term "spirituality". Only those that seek it will find it. When Jesus was asked, "Where is the Kingdom of God?" He responded by saying that, "It is all around you, you just don't see it." And the only thing I could possibly add to that is, "Where is hell?" It's everywhere that self righteous "believers" find excuses to remain blind. |
