Jesus

If Jesus came back today, where do you think you would find him? In the Vatican? In an American mega-church? In Westminster Abbey?

What do you think he would have to say about the super-rich? All of them are Christians; wouldn't he be pleased about that?

And what would he say about all the philanthropists and donors to charity? Would he bless them? What do you think?

What would he say about the bishops in their wonderful costumes and all the evangelical pastors in Gucci shoes and private jets?

What would he think about you and your lifestyle?

Duality

If life is eternal, if there is an infinite spiritual world, a wonderful world filled with light and love, angels and rainbows, what is the purpose of this world of flesh and bones?

Truthtellers

Evangelicals and atheists don't get along, nor do Sunni and Shia Muslims, Jews and Palestinians, right-wingers and left-wingers, vegans and meat eaters, environmentalists and climate change deniers, drunkards and teetotallers, spiritual seekers and materialistic realists...

We belong to different tribes; we sing different songs and dress up in different costumes. We read different books and trust different teachers. It's not about right or wrong; it's about beliefs in what is right or wrong, different mindsets, different castles in the air. Not even scientists agree. 

Have you ever tried to convince a devout neo-nazi that he is an idiot or a neurotic that he should stop pitying himself? Have you ever tried to question your own deeply held beliefs? 

How can you be so sure that you are right and everyone else is wrong?
