I am an atheist that believes in Jesus. I know your head just exploded, and now the area around you smells like farts.
I forgive him for his ignorance. He wasn't perfect. He did not know that being homosexual is not a choice for most. Were he alive today he would be tolerant and understanding about it. I don't forgive modern homophobes as they shouldn't have that excuse.
WTF does that mean? You rejected judaism , christianity and the concept of god but kept "the socialism*" he espoused according to you*.
I think it might be incorrect to construe that Jesus had anything against wealth, per se. Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy, and it was because of him that the proper entombment occurred. Rather, it is the attachment to wealth that is the lesson of the story. It is the desire for it that prompts the betrayal. Judas does not betray Jesus for ideology or animus - he does it for money. 70 pieces of it. "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's." There is no attachment to money - no desire for it - in that statement. It's value remains in the domain of man, and has no value in God's.
I guess FC thinks people are different today. "If a man also lies with a man, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." "Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error."
