"Sin" is an artificial construct, devised by the entirely human authors of religion. Eliminating this word from the lexicon would greatly advance the race.

@David1955 Yeah, traditional Christianity never made much sense. The word Sin was invented in Europe around 1400. It was an archery term that measured the distance from the center. It was an interesting choice when they did the English translation. Then they redefined it to mean something completely different. Same goes with every thing else in the bible. Don't sell yourself short though. "is it not written ye are Gods." Finally, if Jesus was more of a God than you or I, who was he praying to?

@David1955 Yes, and I'd go further. When you read the temptation episode with Satin on the Mount of Temptation, he is arguing with his own ego as well. Both events take place on a high place. Biblical Mountains represent the human higher consciousness. That interpretation always works. No matter which story you choose.

"Freewill"? An omniscient being creates you and the universe around you, which results in you being you. But then its your "fault"? The idea of freewill is an excuse for superstitious/religious scum to duck out of having to excuse all the horror that happens in the world. The 25,000+ children who die of starvation every day? Freewill?

Freewill? If you worship a "God" that lets this happen, you worship evil.

@David1955 I think you are basically right; I personally believe he was a descendant of Solomon and later, the High Priest Jason. So, he would be a distant cousin to the temple Pharisees . He could have been a Mystic Jewish Priest as well. But, that's a long way from what Christianity teaches today. There are clues which led me to this conclusion sprinkled throughout the Christian Scriptures.

@David1955, @Observer-Effect I've never been a big fan of the word Worship. That word opens a whole can of worms for me.
