[QUOTE="AlexG, post: 2611942, member: 207629"] Jesus was not a "Christian"... he was raised Jewish, but was clearly trying to reform a religion that he found very hypocritical and inhuman. He was against any kind of violence, and said that we shouldn't judge or punish anyone or even defend ourselves from thieves. When a woman was about to be stoned to death for adultery, he said "Only if you have never sinned may you cast a stone". He also said "If someone steals your coat, give him your shirt also". "If someone hits you, invite him to hit you again". He preached that people should always be forgiving, loving and compassionate toward their fellow man. I think Jesus would reject all three "Abrahamic" religions if he were here today. He'd probably be a Buddhist - they're the most peaceful religion, and it's likely that he was influenced by Buddhism (Buddhism was already 500 years old by the time Jesus was alive). Incidentally, ALL religions were "founded by some men". Prophets are nothing but men who claim to be inspired by or speaking on behalf of "god". There is no proof of any of it. Two other religions which might appeal to Jesus today would be Unitarianism and Baha'i - both very peaceful, non-violent, liberal religions that teach that all religions are essentially the same, and all are essentially peaceful and non-violent. I believe saying stuff like this in a Muslim country will get you killed for "blasphemy" or "apostasy". That's not very nice. Jesus would be appalled. [/QUOTE]
