This essay is not intended to denounce
the divine purpose or the holiness of intent of Jesus
of Nazareth, called the Christ.
It is to segregate facts and intentions as gleaned from the quoted
words of Jesus that has been interpreted and reinterpreted from the
days of the apostles to the founding of the Church as a religious
organization intended to replace the established synagogue of the
Hebrews called Jews who have been named in the Old
Testament as the Children of God, God's chosen
people. Jesus was a Jew whose mission was to reform, renew, and
do away with the old ways of sacrifice of the lamb in the name of
God. He never intended to replace God, which he referred to as the
Father nor do away with traditions like Passover that had been
established by ancient holy men.

Freedom of Religion - Freedom from Religion - Freedom of Public Display of Religion and Traditions
We establish no religion in this country, nor will we ever. We command no worship. We mandate no belief. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave it bereft of belief. All are free to believe or not believe; all are free to practice a faith or not. But those who believe must be free to speak of and act on their belief.
-- Ronald Reagan (Temple Hillel Speech, 1984)

To start 2010 right, sign the Manhattan Declaration

The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience, released in November, impressed me as a profound statement by a large number of Christian leaders taking a stand for the foundations of civilization, the family, and the sanctity of human life. People of faith have to work together to preserve and protect the fundamental principles of morality from those who seek to destroy them. This declaration brings together numerous Catholic bishops, Orthodox clergy, and Evangelical leaders -- and as an evangelical Christian I will gladly partner with other types of Christians on the common concepts that form the backbone of Christianity.
