That's absolutely fair! And I totally get it, in all honesty. I have had lots of doubts throughout my life. I just ended up wanting to believe in a little magic ๐Ÿ˜Š

I agree with your sentiment about the co-opting by the rich and powerful. It's a shame how so many good teachings from all religious texts, get twisted into these gaudy things. They become unrecognizable to me. I try to see love and joy in everything I see, and that is just a bummer. Jesus was definitely a cool dude. He's definitely on a list of religious figures I'd like to meet, along with Krishna.
