Why don't you become a Christian who can really hold the mantle of Jesus and live like he did as Christian means follower/ disciple of Christ?

The Bible says you decieve yourself. You think christians turn you from god but it is your flesh,your mind. Yourself wars against your spirit. Your spirit has not been born again so you can't see the things of God. You are still blind. Your eyes have not been open to the things of God but you can have it as soon as your heart hungers for God. He has to make your heart tender toward Him first because your heart is hard toward Him. if you only knew God you would be so sorry for your attitude. Paul is the great apostle but before that he killed christians. A true christian will be hated because the Bible says they hated Jesus and they will hate us if He lives in us. I would be willing to die for Him. It is your choice.If you do not love God, you hate Him. There is no middle ground. He is the only one that will judge you. The Books will be opened and you will be judged. The Books will be the Bible,The Word and instructions from God. You will be judged on how you obeyed Him, His Word. We always look for someone to blame. We have to get humble.

I don't understand the first question. Other higher pursuits, I can't imagine. Christians do, as a group, aspire to live as Christ did.

People are people.
Jesus didn't presume to call himself a Christian as far I know.
The closest label that fits me right now is a Deist.
I feel free to debate my belief in the equality of all persons to live freely under one God.

I am a christian and a disciple of Christ...I follow and search , and seek him everyday, he's never out of my heart or mind. not even when I sleep Here's what I dreamed one night a few months after I was saved,4 years ago
THE DREAM
I DREAMED ONE NIGHT TWO ANGELS CAME TO MY BED. THEY TOOK ME TO HEAVEN I FELT I HAD NOTHING
TO DREAD. WE STOOD IN FRONT OF A BIG WHITE GATE. IT OPENED SLOWLY AS WE STOOD IN WAIT.
MANY CLOUDS BILLOWED AND SWIRLED ABOUT US AS I STOOD IN AWE OF THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS THAT
SURROUNDED US. WHAT I SAW WORDS COULD NOT EXPRESS, I WANTED TO STAY AT THIS BEAUTIFUL ADDRESS.
THE ANGELS ALLOWED ME TO LOOK INSIDE, THE BEAUTY THE MAJESTY, MADE ME CRY.
"IT'S TRUE, IT'S ALL TRUE, I KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE." I HEARD MYSELF CRY, AS TEARS RAN STREAMING
FROM MY EYES.
I KNEW WHAT I SAW WAS NOT OF THIS EARTH,THIS CREATION WAS FOR THOSE OF THE NEW BIRTH. THE
POWER, THE BEAUTY, THE SIGHT OF IT ALL WAS SO STRONG,THAT THE ANGELS SHUT THE GATES QUICKLY
TO MY NEW HOME. "IT'S NOT YOUR TIME," I HEARD THEM SAY, " WE JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE WHAT WAS
ON THE WAY," THEY SAID "YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN INSIDE BUT YOU WILL REMEMBER WHERE
YOU HAVE BEEN.YOU MUST TELL OTHERS ABOUT THIS DREAM. THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE. IT'S THE REAL THING.
GOD HAS LET YOU SEE WHAT IS YOUR REWARD IF YOU WORSHIP, LOVE HIM, AND KEEP HIS WORD."
WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THAT IT'S REALLY TRUE. WE NEED TO GET THE LOST ONES IN IF IT'S ALL THAT WE
DO. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME, THE END IS NEAR, AND YES, IF YOU ARE LOST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO FEAR.
CALL ON JESUS NOW, SO YOU CAN GO TO AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I SAW AND YOU'LL BE EXCITED TOO.
I'LL SOON BE IN MY NEW HOME,PASS THE BIG WHITE GATES. DON'T YOU WANT TO GO THERE TOO? I JUST CAN'T
WAIT!!!!
I REALLY DREAMED THIS DREAM JUST AS IT IS WRITEN. I FEEL IT WAS INSPIRED BY GOD AND HE GUIDED MY
THOUGHTS AND MY HAND IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.
I AM GIVING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND GOD HAS DIRECTED ME TO DO SO.
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE WILL HELP YOU TO MAKE THE BIGGEST DECISION OF YOUR LIFE
TO ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND TO SERVE HIM. SO YOU, ONE DAY
WILL STAND AT THE BIG WHITE GATES AND BE INVITED IN TO STAY, FOR ETERNITY.
GOD BLESS YOU

Jesus was mearly one of many shaman who have walked this Earth. He is simply the most popular. And I have pursued a more realistic image of "Goddess/God"!

There's not a thing wrong with that, many people I know already do exactly what you have mentioned. They just don't feel they have to go to a church to be Christian. :)
