let's talk about the Big R

So I am going to be unorthodox and post about Religion. I am currently a religious studies major and I am exploring social change or social justice. Today's world is changing everyone is demanding changes, answers and action. I am no one to suggest my agenda to you, however I can give you my scholarly opinions. So far I have noticed that no one has actually read the Bible, I am currently reading some chunks of it. Let me tell you Women had way more rights than what these priests claim! Jesus was born and raised Jewish and died Jewish. Crucifixion is a Roman punishment, think about it. Jesus is referred to rabbi many times by various authors (technically anonymous). There are problems with Islam, but I haven't gone into it yet. I have yet to study Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and others. Basically all religions have some problem or another, because the Holy books were written by man or re-written by others. Mistakes are bound to happen if you are copying a huge canon without modern technology. Many of you will probably take offense or think I am wrong, go ahead. Like I said I am just a scholar and these are my views :) the best thing I have noticed it that we are told over and over to CO-EXIST with others. TOLERATE other people's views and religion. Learn to LOVE, that is the only religion. I should create a cult and call it Love, the unitarian Church is promoting this, hopefully they continue.
