I have often wondered what the new testament of the bible would be like if you removed the parts that are in reality are made up short stories used to sell a bill of goods. An example(s) being the nativity stories, the resurrection (misunderstood,) the writings of Saul Of Tarsus the book of revelations. to name a few
I wonder if a book (it would probably be very short) getting rid of the exact interpretation but rather trying to expressed express the ideas that Jesus the man best wanted to express. I look at our group and the atheists and agnostics have a very valuable role in working out that validity of what is being said. There is a definite need to counter balance my own beliefs and those of other fanatics. To tell the truth this would be a total dream for me. There is an event astronomically that can be dated like a total solar eclipse over Jerusalem in 33 CE. I do know that there are religious fanatics in the Philippines that are crucified (literally) and they regularly survive it. I think these things need to be taken into account, from what I understand it actually takes several days to die that way. Here I have to admit I am jealous of the sheer enlightenment of spiritual knowledge Francis and other members of this group possess. I am hoping they will take to this idea.
