dear efields...I agree with all that you have said concerning religions...but don't throw the baby out with the bath water eh? you may have missed this "disclaimer" in James' answer

Jesus incarnated not for the purpose of begetting a religion. He simply expressed his vision of the spiritual dimensions, making First Source accessible and singular. His fellow humans were so eager for the fulfillment of prophecy that they imposed upon him the mantle of Messiah, which he hesitantly agreed to shoulder.

I can understand that...having been 33 ... if he had lived long enough, he may have shrugged that mantle off... some believe he went to India with Mary, after the "resurection" and lived to be 104...I once met a guy who traced his ancestry back to Jesus...he said that when he went missing in the Bible histories, he was on the trade routes with his Uncle...and while in England, (married?)and fathered some children from which he descended ... ha ha typical teen... I never did buy into the hype that he was any "more" a son of god that the rest of us...but somewhere along the line he did develope "christ consciousness"...ie a Sovereign Integral's perspective
what the Romans did to the scriptures is well documented...but some people just can't handle the truth.
