As far as Jesus,
Okay. I accept that Jesus, whoever he actually was, was most certainly a great person who preached love - love in the sense of altruism and goodwill as I understand it. I accept that his primary concept of love as such is essentially right. I also trust the forces that have sent him down here. It wouldn't be a turn in my life at all to say that I go through life with the essential Christian ethic in mind (I mean that in the phiosophical rather than dogmatic sense) .
Well? Can I throw out all those rotten books that distort and overbloat his essential truths and live my life with a clean conscience now?
