I find it odd that people who profess such a love of Jesus can be so much the

This seems to be a reoccuring subject topic in conversations I have been having lately......there is alot to be said about this, I wish I had written my term paper on it in my "Psychology of Religion" class! I find it makes people a little uncomfortable when you bring up the idea of what would Jesus do in certain situations. A born-again guy I used to work with was very upset with the idea that we could do anything but WORSHIP Jesus and just thank him, when I would bring up living by example he got upset and would say something like "We all fall short" "No one can be like Jesus".....obviously he wasn't open to a conversation about it, I'd usually just let it end there. He told me I was going to hell anyway because I loved Bob Marley and was always reading Buddhist teachings, "Buddha didn't DIE FOR OUR SINS." He'd always say.
