yea unfortunately the jesus i ended up 'knowing' did me no favours whatsoever. in fact being in TF soured the very name of jesus to me & I did a major u-turn.
if i had not joined TF perhaps my perception of christianity & jesus would be very different now. who knows? all i know is how i feel at this time in my life. Having faith in jesus brought me nothing in the past compared to what i have today (without that faith) - both physically, mentally & spiritually.
as it makes lydia sad to see jesus being bagged out - it makes me equally as sad to see people believing in a character out of a book and using that character as a crutch (i think thats called faith)
no offence to any jesus believers here.
