Quoted By:
I consider myself a small "c" christian in the sense that I believe their is value and wisdom in the teachings of Jesus and the way that he taught people to live their lives with compassion, love, modesty and pacifism. I think the world would be a much better place if people took his actual words to heart and lived what he taught instead of the things religious institutions have co-opted from him. I don't believe there was anything supernatural about him, he just had some interesting ideas and may have been influenced by eastern philosophy.
Big "C" christianity goes off the rails with Paul, who was a man who never met Jesus but totally saw him on the road or something and had a bunch of shit revealed to him that Jesus never said and fucking forgot to actually share himself or something. The entirety of his writings should be straight up discarded, the man was very clearly a charlatan.
