I have been working on a new entry for the last couple of days - but I have been trying to see just exactly in which direction to go and how to correctly word many of the things within me. In understanding the folly of religion, let me say this: I am admittedly much more familiar and educated, both formally and through self-imposed study and research, with Western religions, philosophy, and religious thought. Now, that being said, we must realize that Christianity and Judaism have their roots and origins in Middle Eastern thought. Realizing this has caused me, over the last decade or so, to rethink and re-investigate many of the teachings and assumptions of those who claim to adhere to the "true" practice of these religions - particularly Christianity. Why do they believe what they believe and think the way they think?
In gaining a clearer understanding of the Christian religion, we must look at its figurehead: the man Jesus. Needless to say, Jesus has always been much misunderstood, even during his earthly life of thirty plus years. Is there a difference in "Christ" and "Jesus"? What was really Jesus' true mission? Where does "law vs. grace" fit in this? What about the discussion on "missing the mark"? It will all come together...
Keep checking back - there is much more to come!!!
