On a consistent religion

It has been two thousand years since Jesus Christ walked on Earth. Everything we know about his life was written decades after he died, and we have learned not to question any of it; where there is missing data, we have looked for it in the Old Testament.

If we think of the mission of our Lord on Earth, I see no other purpose for a God than to bring the lost paradise back. To bring us peace, love, and future - as the human kind. This mission failed during his life, and since a failing god is not perfect, the holy writings tell us only what they do.

What is paradise? I see it as freedom in peace. The fruit of the tree of knowledge has been been tasted, so the freedom comes with responsibility over our actions. The serpent lured us to look for sex and benefit regardless of the cost to others, so we should look for love and spirit in ourselves to keep us from harming our neighbor to fulfill our desires.

Ancient Rome was a kingdom of sex, excess, and abuse. Love was a subject of trade, and the logic of slavery ruled the souls of the people. Someone preaching universal love for all human beings did not fit in. Jesus had to die.

The world of today is different. What I would like to ask is, are we as the human kind mature enough to admit that many things have gone terribly wrong for two thousand years of our history. Are we ready to think of the first Christians as human beings like ourselves, their leader having been crucified, leaving them under an enormous pressure from the outside world? Are we ready to see universal love as it is, without boundaries, allowing people to do what they wish when they do not harm each other in the present or towards the future? Are we ready to see our body as a gift from our God and take care of it every means the science of health asks us to? Are we ready to see our oblivion of abnegation and seek happiness the middle way?

The future is ours to build. Let us choose faith over tradition, sense over words, future over past. Let us learn how to respect each other the truthful way, let us do what we feel right, let us enjoy the fruit of life - together.
