    You must be a theologian and a philosopher.

    I know that Jesus' pet peeve was religious hypocrisy and that he'd recognize the Religious Right to be the heirs of the people who had the Romans murder him.

    I am honored by your comment and I am certain that so would someone else. He could use a laugh now and then.

    Sure, Jesus had a sense of humor.

    What do you think he meant when he criticized Jewish dietary laws, saying that it's not what somebody eats that make him unclean. It's what comes out.

    Real theologians know that Jesus was invented by religious zealots of the time to get them to rebel against Rome and never actually existed. And that the Revelations are the ravings of a senile lunatic obsessed with the Old Testament.

    Modern Christianity is not Petrine, but Pauline, and therefore completely contradicts the teachings of "Jesus", who ministered exclusively to Jews, and not to gentiles. Only Jews can be real Christians. Period.
