Hippies and christianity

And yes, there are Roman historical records of Jesus living and being crucified.

 

I am not Christian. By faith, if it could BE defined, I'm a jew. What GOD says, is LAW. and If my memoery servers by ALL accounts, God said "Thou shalt not kill." That's enough for me. This applies to suicide as well. It's a NO-NO!

 

At heart, Jesus and his followers were very close to modern hippies. Jesus' message was one of peace, forgiveness, and just generally being groovy to your fellow humans. There is even considerable reason to believe that Jesus used cannabis derivatives at least from time to time. Dangerous stuff, free thinking and saying people should be kind to one another, the kind of stuff that could get you nailed to a tree back then. Now they just usually throw you in jail. Whatever else you have to say about Jesus, he was right about one thing. He said several times that people who walk the righteous path will be persecuted in this world. Not much seems to have changed from then to now.

 

If you have hate in you, you aren't truly peaceful inside, not matter how you delude yourself. And George W. Bush has about as much good Christian morality as I have understanding of quantum physics...not much. He's a rank deceiver as many who have come before, and as, sadly, many who will come after.

 

At my school, Christianity is a joke. The chapel service on Wednesdays are a joke. They get you for the littlest thing. Practically everyone listens to secular music and they treat it like you'll go to hell if you don't listen to Christian music. I hate it so much....

 

Jesus was the first hippie and what he says is right but the shit catholics made with his life like religion wars discusses me ... He said we had to love everybody and he was right
