Quote:3) The teachings of Jesus of Nazareth (and Paul) contained a number of hopeful themes including (but not limited to) strength and assistance to endure the trials this life

2: STFU and do what you're told,
3: You'll get your reward in the "next" life....(meanwhile, we'll just clean up down here.)
