what i think is MOST crazy about Christianity is how they still adhere simultaneously to some of the ideology from the new testament and the old testament, even though they are at many points DIRECTLY conflicting. jesus love filled statements and parables vs. the stories of the old testament which clearly paint god as some kind of vengeful wrathful creature (see sodom n gomorra)
what i think it very cearly illustrates is the evolution of the concept of god itself. i think jesus knew on some level that the God that really exists, if he does exist as a consciousness or entity, is not at all like he/it was painted to be in the old testament. its really cool to see how he tried to change the teachings of his religion. and in many ways succeeded.
its crazy to think of what Catholicism and Christianity would look like today if jesus hadnt of come around. i dislike organized religion but j-c was on a whole different level than his religion.
