“As far as I understand,” he said while he quickly clutch out with his foot, pulled the horizontal shift lever back and gave it the decisive turn and push that was needed to shift gears, “is the historical Jesus, the only prophet which does not have skeletons in the closet, at least among the so-called prophets, I remember having heard of so far.”
He stretched out his right arm to its full height, turning the palm forward right to feel the pressure from the warm wind that sped over their heads.
“It is true, but now we know not if Jesus lived, or if it’s just a fairy tale, but if he was here, he seems to me to have been awesome.”
“Agree. Some of the others recruited followers in different, quirky ways. Some ways are both embarrassing and threatening. And many beautiful words from profound poets, are woven into the postulates to get the message easier to digest.”
“It does happen so ago that the new generations are growing up with these religions, and so get they a likely glow and many think it is the way it is or should be. They do not feel it could be different. And many are brought up that it is sinful to ask questions, that it is sinful to search yourself. Many got their spiritual future destroyed by fear and horror of the threat of eternal fire of hell, their parents and teachers has carried and passed over from their parents and teachers. It is shameful and transfers easily to a kind of schizophrenia. There are also some people who are naturally seeking, but have been brainwashed into thinking that they have to be part of some sect to be really searchers and thereby prevent eternal punishment.”
“In fact, feeling people often tend to listen inwards and consider this as something natural, but also as something private that, in itself, is no one else’s business. Some spend time to pick up the religion that they think fits best because they believe a religion is necessary, and not only a compass. They simply accept the idea that a religion has some rules that must be followed, even if they feel wrong, which is able to trigger budding insanity. Hey, hey, hey, run properly and slow down a little before you turn. I get fucking seasick on this rocking horse. Well, phew… in one sense, the religion is the spiritual counterpart to the more mundane, or should we say, temporal, politics.”
“So there are statements made by some religions representatives, suggesting the existence of Christ envy among those who do not have Christ as the main character. Christ envy and contempt of Christ. Some people discard Christianity because of the primitive misunderstanding of what Christians call the Trinity. Will you pat the window up? No, just give the tab a little turns, and then flip it up. Symbolic confusion. Like figuring the Garden of Eden as a real garden, with so and so many different plants and hedge trimming at appropriate intervals.”
“There arising wars when some fools are mortal enemies because of different views, for example, how many varieties of fruit trees that were or which person is related to whom and exactly how. Christ contempt occurs when you attach god human characteristics, such vindictiveness. But Christ vanquished not his enemies, and he had no idea of an earthly throne, yes, and of course not of a royal crown either. It was a crown of thorns instead. His CV remained quite untarnished. He had shown a completely different agenda. Now I can see the sign where we turn left. Do you not remember, John said it was there, we had to turn if we would reach our goal? So it goes by the book.”
