alright, fine, spook, you made me laugh that time. i'll give you a clean (you) on that one. you deserve it. fair is fair.   > hermes-aphrodite came from france weird. i wonder who else came from france or when and why that might be important in this discussion. either way, you're obviously wrong.   nietzsche said it right and kierkegaard might be a close second. none of you are actually "christian". you're just underdeveloped. if you weren't, you'd see that most of what is still contained in the bible, even despite all of the mischief attached, is abundantly clear and the both of them had the right idea. nietzsche, like kierkegaard, was a mystic. they both rightfully indicted "christianity" as a far cry from the original intention of "christianity".  to cut to the chase, jesus made it very clear: we no longer need "religion". we can just be conscious of our paradoxical individual-universal cog in the gear of divine, universal consciousness. when jung spoke about the "universal unconscious", he was talking about (you). it's all the same thing. all of us is just (you), all at the same time. when the ancients said "know thyself", this is what they meant. when people talked about "gods" in antiquity, they didn't mean some guy in space somewhere, they meant they people who knew this, didn't tell you and used this knowledge to exploit you. they knew they could trick you with enough smoke and mirrors that you'd eventually just give up and accept you got got. but that was what jesus did - that's why he was the catalyst for such massive, global change: he just said, "lol nah" and just kept doing his thing. then he taught you how important it was to emulate exactly that behavior. he didn't tell you to go on the internet and quote people you've never met in an effort to win some arbitrary argument you think you're having with another good-faith participant, however.
