Among people both inside and outside Christianity, the true depth of Christ's philosophical and spiritual ideas and the implications of those ideas have been neglected and left unexamined for at least sixty years. We are left with a vapid, shallow, essentially dead religion which has no notion of what it would mean to live life or operate in a way based on the teachings of Christ. Today's "Christians" are left grasping for models exclusively drawn from the past. If they grasp at all. Most are content with the feelings of sanctimony and vague spiritual comfort granted by any belief system that claims to give the user eternal security as a reward for subscription. I expound slightly on my own belief in Christ and His Symbolic Meaning and Reality. In the future I will attempt to discover what the implications of the truths of Christ tell us about how we might better organize our world and live our lives. Enjoy!
