anne asked >>And I have to ask the Christians on the list (and I'm asking in the most naive way, believe me) - Do you really honestly believe the story of Jesus Christ being God? I ask because I have finally realized that I never in my life thought it was literally true, even though I was raised as a Catholic. I kept waiting for someone to "admit" (to my mind) that it was all a metaphor.<<<
my 2 cents even though i am not now a christian...i was raised as a christian but wouldn't define myself as christian now, though i embrace many, not all, of those teachings...as i do those of other religions...i came to interpret that what jesus was teaching was that he knew god within him & that all of us were capable of knowing god in the same way... ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
