That is how I prefer to view the topic.

One should know that the stories about Jesus Christ were written several hundred years after his death.

Most people don’t question the missing years of Jesus. He just disappears for a while and no one seems to be curious about it. However, there are people who believe he studied in India among other countries in the region, and that there are records of his journeys to other lands. Some people believe he was a healer, mystic and philosopher bringing his message of Light and Love that we all have that same capabilities.


Considering how Jesus has been portrayed by the usurpers of the religion, I can understand why people turn against their message of hate. They build their narrative and their base by cherry picking verses that fit their agenda. Most church goers don’t even read their bible because they can’t read, and rely on preachers to manipulate them. They tell them how to vote and who to hate.
