[split] Are Questions About God Important?

[FrustratedFool]

I dont understand all of it.  

i search for that person i met one night - 

i read the bible looking for him, 

i do find him about in the world.

i try to leave his presence where ever i go.

I picture Jesus much as you do. Sort of as the answer to the question of What would a person be like if he always did the correct moral thing? How would we behave if we actually loved each other? 

Though I've never had the kind of revelatory experience you have, so for me it's all literary and aesthetic. But it's still important.

I remember something Herbert McCabe said: "If you don't love you're dead, and if you do, they'll kill you."

Doesn't this presume that there is a correct moral thing, and that it can be known?  

And loving each other can lead to terrible behaviours, as the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And too much empathy can lead to paralysis and ineffective choices.

I understand the appeal of the sentimental aesthetic christ-myth, but the usage of it as a moral exemplar is more harm than good, I feel.
