Unconventional opinions

[Rampant.A.I.]

I don't believe there was a historical Jesus, Muhammad or Buddha for that matter. I am not sure if that is unconventional or not.

I believe that multi-partnered marriages should be legally recognised.

I believe where appropriate, nudity should be legal.

I believe schools achieving more than certain literacy and numeracy standards in children. They should ensuring that children should have the minimum level of ability to understand the scientific method and use of critical thinking.

I believe everybody (apart from asexual people) are bisexual to some degree or another.

Funny thing is, not many westerners have a problem entertaining the idea that there was no Siddhartha, no rejection of his royal birthright and quest to end suffering. That it was all allegory.

But if you ask if the same is plausible with Jesus, they flip out. Culture is such a blinder.

I'd like to think Jesus and Siddhartha existed. I'd very much like to think Jesus, like Siddhartha, was a smart and charismatic character who wanted to make things better, and warned his followers not to write down anything he said, and focus on the teachings, lest it become codified, dogmatic, and eventually identical to the predominant religion they rebelled against.

Who knows. History has a tendency of making key figures larger than life, whoever they were based on.
