So now I think I understand Jesus.

But the Bible is wrong. The way it is taught us wrong. You need to strip out the mythology of the birth, cut out the midrash, and you need to discount the resurrection and just focus on the non apocalyptic teachings. He was a mystic that realized that we are all one with God and one with each other. Heaven is not a monarchy. Jesus was not a freak. It is all very simple and I don't think there is anything to be saved from. I finally feel at peace and awake.

Did you know that there is a book by Phillip Pullman - the guy who wrote the golden compass books - that does just that?

I haven't read it myself, but I've always been meaning to

@SW-User I hadn't heard of it but am checking it out.

@SW-User I read it. It's short. It starts out in an interesting fashion and makes a couple points that are of interest but still follows the same general story line that in reality is just ancient myths from other historical figures.
