Not exactly a practical lesson for the rest of us. Also telling people to abandon their families to follow him.) Sure, you can make the claim that he said or did one thing, but that doesn't matter worth dick if there's one or more retractions of that somewhere else (sometimes on the same page) that reveal a remarkable lack of awareness on the part of the author and editor. This is why you can interpret these books to mean whatever the fuck you want; you're always going to be right because on top of being able to twist it into whatever form you want since it's so unspecific, but you can claim to dismiss anything in there that contradicts it too. Can you imagine if scientific textbooks were written in this way?

As you said, Jesus message is surely not for all humans as it is not for other living things in the world.

As you know, even those who call themselves, for one reason or another, Christians (mainly the privileged ones) cannot, even if they want to, take seriously, speaking practically, most of what Jesus says (as written on the today's Gospel).

After all, those who have (are born with) a human living flesh only don't need, on these days, hearing any message from the Will/Power that forced them to exist in the time/space realm, we call life. They are already guided to play their various roles in life by instructions embedded in their living cells that are inherited while being evolved since millions of years and not necessarily on earth only. In other words, the continuity of life on earth and its progress is served by all living things, including most humans, the way they are instructed to do (instincts for example).

But it happens that not all humans on earth are born of flesh only. So living to serve the world, in wars (destroying) and peace (building), is not necessarily a priority to all humans. And it is natural that you, for example, are confused about the reason for which a person may live the unconditional love and care towards all others, friends and enemies. The reason, in this case, is surely not to avoid a punishment or to get a reward afterlife.

Aaaand, go fuck yourself for making an unfounded assumption about what I do or do not understand, chump. Unconditional love isn't exactly a high survival value in evolutionary terms (but then you must be an ignoramus where that's concerned, or am I making an unwarranted assumption?) but a simple altruism untainted by hippy-dippy naivete does seem to work rather well. I understand painfully well why people adopt these irrational practices and carry them out to their peril and to their horrible demises and I don't envy nor admire them and neither should you. Or are you just confused about whatever point it is you think you're trying to make?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
