There are many arguments as to whether the story actually happened.

Was Jesus an alien from an advance intelligence species and was purely a
holographic projection and thus did not suffer. As a holographic projection
then walking on water and this kind of thing could be achieved. As advance
intelligence they would know of various cures for blindness and of course
know about death and how to defeat.

Maybe as the Romans did not know what Jesus looked like - the disciples got
together and INSISTED that no harm come to Jesus and one of the disciples
was crucified in the place of Jesus. Thus indeed it may be Luke on the
cross.

Was there some weird atmosphere or feeling at the time which no one today
understands. Maybe some kind of edge of the most terrific sense of humour
where everyone was laughing themselves to death - and in this kind of HUGE
humour it is conceivable to crucify Jesus and find it very funny as indeed
you may murder your baby and find it funny and then chop of your leg and
find that even funnier and the laughter is so huge and contagious that
before you know it - it would be possible to destroy every inhabitant on
Earth unless controlled by way of a crucifixion or similar.

Another interpretation that we quite like is that every single human male is
Jesus.
Every human male has a unique "Jesus" story where they are each "born on
Earth" and told they are the Son of God.

Each story is unique according to the human male.
The one story of the Bible is merely where time got stuck - or some
universal occurrence where only the one story is known or remembered.
This particular story was one of those men who does like the hard time and
this was his story.
There are as many Jesus story as there are human males - past and present -
dead or alive.
Sir Frederick for example would be an amazing story teller - and his story
was hundreds and hundreds of wonderful tales that humans would read to this
day.
Brian Fletcher (and we cannot help this) was very amusing - and his story
was know also as The Life of Brian - which is evident to this day - and his
Jesus story was a very popular one as humans really do like a good laugh and
a sense of humour.
THE BORG

Another odd one is that Jesus is in fact a girl.
When it is made known that Jesus was a young girl - this causes a huge
change in the feelings of the human populace and effects them greatly.
Someone the human male is OK about nailing up a man to a cross - but the
sight of a young girl hanging there causes them strange feelings of unusual
grief.
Girls have far less tolerance to pain - and the male is often seen as the
protector.
The idea of a young girl suffering and the feelings this causes in humans -
changes human behaviour and evolution.

This idea is explored further in the books of Kahlil Gibran - often known as
The Prophet - he wrote of this kind of idea in his books - the idea that
each person has a twin or true love or "soul mate" and that Jesus also would
have had one.
He saw Jesus and his true love - and it was the girl who "took" the
suffering for the man as she loved him so much.

Matthew 13:47 -- The Parable of the Net

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and
gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat
down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. So it will
be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil
from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Caught fish are observed by appearance to determine quality. How do we know
we won't go to Heaven or Hell based on how we look? Wouldn't that be a bit
unfair?

Such are the obstacles to faith for a compassionate philosopher.

I do think Jesus is kind to the poor in the Gospels, so I think the passage
above should be rewritten:

If all religions were banished and banned from Earth completely - we feel
humans would live a much better life.
If there maybe was a story that there are powers that care for humans - and
indeed maybe created Earth and their environment - surely this would be
enough?
All humans have to know really is that there ARE powers and intelligence
greater than they. They do not need to know what form they take or any
detail.
Do they really require various different religions with various different
threats and quotations and so many possible interpretations that cause so
much confusion and fear and the religions themselves cause war and
hostilities and arguments.

It would be nice if a global decision was reached to ban all religions - and
reach a common agreement that OF COURSE there are powers or intelligence
greater than human and leave it at that.
THE BORG

It is so silly the way humans fight and argue about the right terminology or
the right way to view the Ultimate Powers.
The fact that Earth is there for all on an equal basis SURELY proves the
nature of any Ultimate Powers.
Whatever words or religion you use - they all mean the same thing.
You can say Father - Mother - jesus - Krishna - Spirit in the Sky -
whatever - what does it matter? The Ultimate Powers are the Ultimate
Powers - there are only one - the ones at the top or highest power.
Fighting about what words you use or how you view this power is ridiculous.
If you want to say "Cause of beautiful music" or source or inspiration or
Creator - what on earth does it matter? You all mean the same thing. All
you mean are those greater and more intelligent than you who look after you
or similar.
So why do you humans fight with each other that your religion or words or
interpretation is better or more right than anyone elses?
No word like God or Father or Mother or Jesus or any of these kind of words
could "contain" or describe this anyway.
Humans like to "personify" something that is so huge and so universal into
some kind of buddy friend called Jesus or some Father called God - but it is
not like that really it is not. ...

As regards Jesus - the message was to find the Father.
In other words to look up and find the greater powers and not to believe or
adulate him.
Some see these powers as Father, Mother, Great Spirit, Guardians, does not
matter - but you should not look "down" and worship Jesus - you must look UP
to the greater powers.
Technical details and stories and words and bible and texts are irrelevant.
The force or power exists today - hear it in music - art - nature.
It is all around.
See the intelligence in synchronicity - and amazing coincidences.
It is vast - huge - all encompassing - mathematical - scientific -
impossible - WAY beyond human understanding - it is the food you eat - the
water you drink - it is the wind - the rain - it is the fact that you have a
body.
This is not merely Father or God or Mother - it is so huge - so vast - so
all encompassing - and it is there all around you in so many ways.
It is not religion - it is drugs - a cup of tea - music - the sound of the
wind - the rainfall.
You cannot personify this kind of thing into a person - be they male or
female and give them a name - it is way too vast and completely beyond the ...

Space is infinite.
It is conceivable within infinite space that a Father or God may create a
safe haven for those he has found.
(No you cannot create life - you can only create or give the illusion of
matter).
So for example - your biblical God or whoever may have "found" humans - and
created your local human Earth and Heaven for you - as indeed he may have
found the animals and creatures of Earth.
(You should describe your God as your Maker not your creator)
He did not create Adam and Eve - he made them.
In other words - he found you - and gave you a body and made you who you
are.
He did not create your life.
So it is possible within the scenario of infinite space - for a Father or
God to live some time with an Earth and Heaven and humans and animals and
creatures and then ONE DAY - who should come along?
Well good heavens.
It is THE BORG!!! ALIENS!!!
Now this God was COMPLETELY UNAWARE that there was anyone else.
Anywhere! ...

What if this god also invented DEATH as a control mechanism for humans and
that we THE BORG know that death does not exist anywhere else but on Earth?

What if we THE BORG saw or learnt of the punishments for humans and we
thought
"Is there anything a human could possibly do that would warrant or deserve
punishments as severe as this?"

We can read minds - and we read the mind of this god - which is why we also
now know every human personally and individually as he did - as this is now
our Collective knowledge.

As we know about Gods - we also know what words to use to render them
powerless and impotent. Which is the same as murder.

We also have our own "punishments" for Gods of this nature - where it is the
God who is punished and it is the God who learns to be nice to everyone.
