Jesus was not even written about until like 300 years after time he supposedly existed.

For the sake of anyone reading: Jesus was written about in the prophecies of the Old Testament before he came to earth. For example, the prophet Isaiah wrote that he would be born of a virgin, a one-of-a-kind miracle which was fulfilled in Jesus.

Here we see a spiritual principle at work. Test it and see if it is true. Those that lack kindness in their heart and do not love others cannot believe in God. Only those that have love for their fellow man in their heart can believe in God, with the faith in degrees corresponding to the maturity of the person. Why is this so? Because God is love. Those that perform kind deeds can believe in God because they allow love to dwell in their heart. Selfish people reject God. Look at yourself, and at the people around you, and you will see that this principle is true.

I believe I do not need a form of christianity to be kind to my fellow man. If the current bible is taken literally and the "laws" are followed it turns out really really bad if you want to learn how to torture people the best place to look is christianity the "church" literally wrote the book on all forms of torture and then people of America was like HELL NO I'LL GO FACE THE SAVAGE INDIANS AND A 3 MONTHS OCEAN VOYAGE!! The damn church showed up here and it's been a shit show ever since. Now the templars have an idea that you don't need the church or a version of christianity to have god inside of you and be kind to your fellow man. All religions are bad and the followers are like sports fanatics who are die hard fans and they do not respect others beliefs hence the PRIDE on full display. So you are god and god doesn't tell you what to do you can just exist together and be kind to your fellow man do not persecute innocent people for not following rules but punish them when they hurt others. Pretty simple.

Be honest with yourself. Are you kind to your fellow man? You don't have to answer me and my questions are rhetorical. Do you perform acts of kindness without expecting anything in return? You would probably say yes, but what would those people say who did not receive any kindness from you? What about those that felt your anger? The ones you punished? You should honestly examine your own heart.
