I love Jesus and I am Pagan. Jesus loves me too, and thinks I am just as awesome as I think he is. I am not being a smartass. I only wish for unity, in this world where people kill in the name of God, when God categorically spoke against killing. Yes, Jesus is awesome, and so is every other creature great and small on this planet. We are God. I think that is awesome. I want to see all the world's peoples sit down together and not fight over religion. I guess the only way that will happen is for Our Mother Earth to finally give in to all the poisons we have smeared on her face, and let the humans destroy her again. On the other side of the veil, we know not the illusion of separation. As was before, will be again. Fear not the end days, for every ending is a new beginning.

Of course you love him. What trauma or crippling life event made you entirely vulnerable and sad to the point where you praise mythical beings? Where would you be without Jesus' love? Well that's cool. I think Mahatmas Ghandi loved you too. Well if believing in supernatural people helps you with the pain in life, then so be it. Just so long as it does not become psychologically damaging.
There is no reason to fear death. I am sure you don't fear death, now that you have told yourself there is a reason for your existence. How ugly would this world be without an all loving moral God? Wouldn't everyone be so lost? Hm, an atheist says you love Jesus because you need to feel like His blessings are traveling through you, when actually it is an excuse for the fear of life. Christians say the fear of life is the reason they accepted Jesus, and He is real and fills these voids. I would never argue that the voids don't get filled. Atheists believe it is in your mind. Christians believe it is as real as Coca Cola. No one is to say for sure. Belief is just belief.
Even if Jesus were just a man, it wouldn't matter. If that were the case, you would've spent your life happy in love with Jesus and then when you died you would have no memory because you simply wouldn't exist. Or, you could be right and all the non-believers will burn in hell. It sounds a little too fantastic for me.
I question the very existence of Jesus, but he set some rules for loving one another. So long as the real purpose never gets distorted and we treat each other well and do not strike violence, I guess either philosophy works.
If the atheists are wrong, which they are innocent in denying God, or sincere at least, it's nothing personal, they will perish in the lake of fire as denoted in revelations. If the Christians are wrong, then they will have wasted a short, but sweet life on a selfish endeavour of believing in something that dictates what is sin, when in fact many of those sins, such as lust and other victimless sins are purely, and sweetly human. A Christian will assume that they are the victims of these supposed victimless sins.
Oh well. I have my very good reasons for not believing in God, and you have yours. Mine may be a sign of heathenism. Yours may be a sign of delusion. I'm sure you're a sweet woman nonetheless and perhaps these silly bickerings don't matter. Perhaps they do. Hm. Just my perspective from an alien point of view witnessing various earth cultures. Humans do have some glorious imaginations. I think we can all agree on that.

I love Jesus - the one who came and said there is no sin, no judgement, no guilt, no hell, no punishment -- the one who had a direct experience of god and then came back to share the good news. I don't love the Ego Jesus - the ego-based interpretation of Jesus' messages that have made it into most descriptions of him.

Yes I do love him.. Did you heard in the News today in Hawaii a man went to Jail for saying Thank you Jesus in Court?
Society is getting very scary... I guess there are very little barriers for Freedom of Speech..

He might have been awesome when he was alive. No offense, but I like the real him better - the semetic man who stood up for judaism against the romans, of all people.

I worry about people like you who fail to read Scripture and go 'round blatting their belief from the rooftops. You are instructed not to pray in public and put on a show, but to go into your room and shut the door and pray to your god in private, and then he will hear you. So be kind enough to do exactly that, won't you?

Do you love Jesus? Jesus says, "If you love Me, you will obey what I command" John 14:15
You communicate with the one's you love, right? Well, if you love Jesus, then you will communicate with him by reading HIS Words in the gospels (His communicating to you) and by talking with him through prayer (your communicating to him).
Do you love Jesus? If you don't know his Words in the gospels, then you have no interest in pleasing him. And if you have no interest in pleasing him, they you cannot please his Father, God the Most High. If you have no interest in pleasing him, then you don't love him and you don't love God. Don't deceive yourself...
As an example of true love and communication, if your husband or wife or children have to go overseas for business or some service, will you stop loving them? Of course not! Will you want to communicate with them? Absolutely yes! How will you do that? Probably through a letter, right? If your loved one writes to you, will you read the letter? Of course you will, right?
Well, Jesus, God's Son had some men write a love letter to you, called the gospels. If you miss him and love him and want to see him, then you'll read his letter to you right? Of course. Are you regularly reading his love letter to you - the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? As you read his Words, do you long to do what He says? If you are not reading his Words, or are explaining them away, then you don't love Him. Don't deceive yourself
