A Jesusly rant.

A little while ago I posted a story about Jesus and how he helped some guy feel better about life and all that crap. Well, today I want to talk a little more about what I've learned from Jesus. First of all I think Jesus is swell. He died on the cross for us and I think that's just great. But for those of us who aren't all that educated in the ways of the world Jesus really has tempted us to become followers of Satan. Ooohhh Satan!! Don't shudder I'm using that name in the common sense (I'll elaborate some other time). But seriously though think about all the miracles he performed: he raised the dead, changed the composition of water, cured the lepers, fed the hungry and basically acted like a frickin superhero. Not such a bad thing to do I guess but what about the possibility of essential karma, or the natural balance of things? Did Jesus act in such a way that he was respecting the natural order or did he struggle against it claiming his intentions were more virtuous than nature's simply because they feel better? Was Jesus a hedonist? Was he really interested in emancipating humanity or did he just want to make people feel better? Every other religious revolutionary that I've read about has always said something to the effect of "there are no imperfections in nature. There is a perfect harmony already in place and to struggle against what is will only put you in a state of suffering". Quite different from Jesus' "I'll heal you because nature must have made a mistake".
Aleister Crowley, in his infinite wisdom, said that Jesus was a follower of the left-hand path, a "black brother". When we consider that Crowley defined a black brother as a "resister of change" we see that he was right on the money. Jesus was pretty cool, he had a good outlook on love and devotion but can we really claim that such a man has (or will) save humanity? I think this one little oversight has played a major part in the horrors that the Christian Church has inflicted on the world, and is responsible for Christianity not being accepted by everyone.
We need a religion that will teach us to see what is real. We don't need dogma or ethics anymore, we've already gotten past all that. Every individual is capable of thinking for themselves. We need religion that simply gives us a set of tools whereby we can learn to appreciate our fullness, our emptiness, and our functions. We needn't be afraid of life anymore Jesus can't poison us any longer.
