Hinduism is really what made the allegories in the Gospels really shine and fully make sense to me for the first time in my life, although I'm sure they are unique and wouldn't have great orthadox appeal in some mainline churches. I feel that I still know the Consciousness from which they all come and that that itself would speak to those mainliner people. All Religions to me feel to have the same Breath, Soul and Ideals which are being described by the ones writing them. The Factualness is neither here or there for me because I feel that these Texts all have conceptions of God, which real or not, is atleast an idealized capacity of humans who come from God and are worth considering how to integrate into our lives, True or Idealistic, they hold meaning to me. But I won't get into my personal persuations here, just this little story.

Now Bless you! Stop calling me Jesus! It's pronounced Hey-Zues!

ps call me whatever you want man, doesn't stop anyone else around here! Jesus is the nicest one so far!
i agree with you there. i think we should all stop stratifying and labeling people in groups or compartments. most religions have the same general message of being good and upright in your actions thoughts and intentions, so why cant we just be one people with goodness as a goal
its so idealist but i can still hope
