<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In truth, Christinity is Christ. I follow Christ, because He seems to be, to me, the most important and significant person and his life the most important event in human history.

That is all fine. Having noble ideals is all very good.
But the historical truth is that there was no man called Jesus Christ.
His story is a myth.
We often get fascinated with myths and the ideals they represent.
There are 100,000 registered members of the Star Wars religion.
If you ask them they will say the Star wars movies are the greatest events in human history.
Star Wars is just a myth. But it is very impressive.
The same is true for the movie "Lord of the Rings". It also has a cultic following.
Why not separate the ideals from the myths?
You can enjoy the mythical stories, but you should not try to pass it for the truth.
After all you want know the truth behind the universe don't you?
Or do you want to live the rest of your life pursing a lie?
There was no man called Jesus. And he can do nothing to save you.
It is all in your dreams.
After you die you will be subject to the laws of Karma and re-incarnation whether you like it or not.
What you believe or don't believe makes no difference to the absolute truth.
