The Greatest Story Ever Sold on Christianity

I was watching a program on Christianity the other day when someone on the show mentioned, "Jesus might not be God." I couldn't believe what I was hearing, Jesus might not be God and Christianity might not be the true religion of the universe. If Jesus wasn't God, was God still God or was all the stuff made up to make us become a better race of people.

Christianity is often referred to as the greatest story ever told, but I never thought that that it would be the greatest story ever sold to humanity. You have to admit that Jesus might have been the one who instilled the thought of Christianity into someone else's mind, but was definitely not the person who formed the religion of Christianity.

The great salesman over the years were people like Paul (Saul of Tarsus), the Roman Catholic Church and all of the other Christian groups that have formed to develop modern day Christianity. I heard that there was over 30,000 forms of Christianity in the world today. That's hard to imagine but we all have to agree that there is more than I can count on both of my hands.

Jesus was Jewish and prayed to God regularly. Whenever there was a problem, Jesus would often tell his disciples that he needed to be left alone, so that he could pray to God. It's hard to imagine, if Jesus was God, he was actually praying to himself. Most Christians overlook this information in the Bible and have a difficult time explaining the text.

All it takes is one of these salesman (Reverend, Priest, Pastor or Clergyman) to figure out another way of twisting the simple words around to make sense to those who desperately seek to understand or agree with the Christian sales force. Hands down and without a doubt, Christianity has been the greatest story ever sold to mankind. With almost 2 billion followers, it's hard to show the hard-core, fundamentalist, Bible reading followers of Christianity that their story, quite possibly could be wrong.

I would like to give some relief to Christians, it's hard to imagine that other organized religions throughout the world believe in religious text that also can't be proven and to put it quite simply worked in the past, but will not work in the future. It's time for a new story, at least one that makes sense or we can make sense out of it in today's Times.
