I don't remember much about Jesus being a bloodthirsty genocidal psychopath.
I do remember the general theme of the sermon on the mount.
"Do unto others as you would have done unto you." I don't think Jesus was the first to say this but arguably he is credited with popularizing the idea.
I will agree that people have done some pretty terrible things in his name, but i am not sure that who ever Jesus was is responsible. My understanding is that there were quite a few messiahs wondering around Israel around 0 AD.
I am of the opinion that the Jesus we know through the gospels is a merger of several people.
Ah...I see. They got to you pretty good. Don't make that mistake with your wee ones.
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?
