What do you think about the applicability

of the teachings of Jesus in modern society.

Please don't give me a blunt, blanket answer,

but address specific topics that I'm sure

you've studied up on, since your opinion seems

to be so clear.

Also, please give me any well-researched, non-

fringe statistics that you might have about the

accuracy of the canonized Bible based on the

same criteria by which any other peice of ancient

literature would be deemed accurate.

Also, if you would, please give me insight into

any (if any) religous background or experience(s)

that you might have had as a child or up.

So you don't feel 'set-up', I am a religous-hating,

Christ's-teachings-following person who looks to

Jesus as the ultimate religous-rebel, who indeed,

believed that everything that he tought was truth,

died for it, and was succeeded by many students

who in turn died proclaiming Jesus life, death,

and resurrection, which they would not have died

for if they would have SAW that their teacher was

indeed dead and non-triumphant over death.

So, if you're up for the e-conversation, I'd like

to intelligently discuss our views.

Thank you!

Joel
