running is fundamental

I was reading over here last night and was thinking about the whole "Truth" thing.

See my deal is not with christianity, my deal is with Christians that use "Christianity" as a basis of their personal agendas. To be a follower of the Christ (AKA Christian) you would try to emmulate him. From my readings the only people that Jesus of Nazareth didn't like, were the people that took God from the people and put it in a temple. The Christ I am familiar with, made God into an identifiable need that we all have to be loved fully. He preached love and kindness, which some wicked people have turned into a personal club of "I get into heaven, you don't" because I take all sorts of shit out of context and would make a religion of hate and intolerance. My favorite are the different denominations of christianity that would try to become MORE elitist by saying ALL the OTHER forms of christianity are wrong! OMG people, when did Jesus ever turn away a person? When the crowd brought the adulteress to be stoned, did he try to tell her that she was evil and these men had a right to stone her? No. He told them that if they were without any moral defects they could stone her, and then when they had left, he asked the girl where her persecuters were, when she told him that they had left, he didn't make her feel like shit. He just told her that he accepted her and that she should not do that anymore. It's no wonder this man has a following. He'll take everyone, even when they're at their lowest.

I think Jesus is a man I would like to emulate. My heart is heavy for people that have to deal with the confines of a restrictive religion that tells them that some "sins" are worse than others. I think I really like the taoist philosophy of going with the flow.

I don't know if I made any sense, but I hope I've explained my religion to all the people who have never heard of the Loving Christ.

Peace-
