| I feel that, before I begin this review, that you should know a few things
about me. Firstly, I am not Christian. I am, in fact, a devout atheist. The
Bible stories seem to me nothing more than moralistic fables with no basis
in reality; they just don't...more |

| Personal beliefs and politics shouldn't come into a discussion about a

| In order to understand how Jesus suffered, we should understand how he lived.
It is assumed that most people know who Jesus Christ was, what he stood for,
his spiritual matters, and the arguable fact (for atheists and agnostics
anyway) that he was the...more |
