I am asking myself a question lately: If the miracles aren’t true… If none of the supernatural is true… If the book is wrong… If it is all made up, is the philosophy of Christ still worth following? My answer is yes.
Lately, I have been shaking off some of the more illogical of my religion’s stories, and I have been taking a hard look at the bare bones of Jesus’ teachings. I can’t find any flaw with his edicts. I find plenty with the rest.
Of course it is, but I also think that oh, how do I put this, it’s not because Christ was a brilliant moral philosopher. It’s because he was telling the truth, and what he said was an accurate reflection of the real nature of the whole universe. So you don’t need to forget the supernatural or worry that the whole book is wrong, because it’s not.
Though the interpretations frequently (usually?) suck wildly.
