fact of the matter is:
Jesus is NOT the son of God, he is God. If you believe otherwise then you have broken the second commandment. (Thou shalt have no other gods before me.)
Jesus must be a human and must not be in Heaven or esle the third commandment is broken. (Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth)
Religion is a very serious topic and it is imposible for one view to be changed/swayed by another. Jesus was a real person, and was essentially a 'rebel jew' who directed his congregation in a new way. Jesus' main messages are peace and love, and non-violence, much like the Buddha or Gandhi. I don't believe in the mystical aspects of christianty, but i believe that the teachings of Jesus are a great model for living life morally and happily... I often think people should read the Bible more as they would read a novel, i think it unearths teachings that are often overlooked when studied as a strict doctrine or exhortation...
