I agree with this. I admire Jesus and his teachings, but disdain the Church.

I have it on fairly good authority that he was just seen leaving Chicago.

Yes, both good and evil originally derived from religious belief. Some people have used religion as a way to gain power while others, like Martin Luther King, used religion to do good.

A more interesting person is William Jennings Bryan, the ill fated lawyer of the infamous Scopes trial. He, of course, railed against Darwinism in favor of creationism, but his reasoning wasn't out of ignorance. He hated Darwinism because of the theory of the survival of the fittest. He believed if others went with Darwinism (somewhat proven by science), it would give the more fortunate an excuse to oppress the not so fortunate in the name of natural selection. In other words, the ones with money would have a reason to exploit those that didn't have many options (i.e. the poor).

So, while teaching creationism in public schools isn't such a hot idea, you can certainly say it makes some of us feel less guilty about the natural reality of the cruelties we have imposed on others such as slavery, genocide, etc.

I gather it’s a “Christler” hotrod.

Jesus’s message was warped by the disciples and early Church because they rejected Mary Magdalene and the sacred feminine.

Pretty sure it's more to do with the social aspect of congregating than any religious underpinnings associated with it.

Jesus drove a Honda, but he didn't talk about it, "For I did not speak of my own Accord." - John 12:49

Plankton

I heard he had an abscess in his stomach and every time he farted it sounded like someone saying "Honda", thus the phrase: "Abscess makes the fart go Honda".


...


I'll see myself out.
