it's very unfortunate that way too many people today base what The Messiah said and did by the actions of contemporary Christians; the selfrighteous lifestyle of most prevented me from reading the Bible for many years. But The Christ was way cool! He didn't go to church and he didn't hang out with Christians (as a matter of fact one of the few times he did go to church he got pissed off and overturned some tables). The Christ hung out WITH WHORES, drinking wine! But he was The Messiah, meaning he had something very important to say (and Judaism and Islam both recognize Christ Jesus was alive and was a Prophet). And what The Messiah said- Know that something much more powerful than you exists (God) and love that awesome mighty power with everything you got. Then love each other and forgive each other. Forgive everyone for everything at all times. Always. Forgive and love. It's such a simple answer to everything. The Messiah said to forgive and love, and I for one think that is cool so I try to love more everyday.
