Some of the most brilliant people were Christians, so many beautiful people have dedicated their lives to him, and so have I. I was born again over a year ago after Jesus answered my prayers and healed my broken heart. I was lost, depressed and addicted to substances to dull the pain.
Jesus brings joy and meaning into life. He's more then I had ever imagined, the way Christians and society portrayed him to me just never gave me any understanding of who he really is. Every day I seek his face and learn more about him.
I even knew ghosts and magic was real, and yet I couldn't relate that information back to Jesus' spirit still being here, and how I'm actually also a spirit. Read his words, they're alive!

Yes he was God in the flesh
Just as there is Me, Myself, and I
There was God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Three yet one.
God Bless You.

Let me put it this way...
Some of the most brilliant people in this world were and are Atheists, so many beautiful people have dedicated their lives to science, and so have I. I became and Atheist after I realized that "Jesus" doesn't answer prayers, heal the sick, or even exist. I was lost, depressed and once I let go of "god" and religion, I cleared up my life.
I brought joy and meaning into my life. I'm more then I had ever imagined, the way Christians and society portray Atheists, to me, just never gave me any understanding of who we really are. Every day I seek the truth and learn more about myself.
I've even realized that I control my life, and I create my own path -- Not "God," and now that I've realized that, I make wise choices every day and take better care of myself.

and Maybe Jesus is so much less that he so far fetched you can hardly imagine how much people are scammed by religous imagery that your mind fools you into things and you will never have the clarity of vision to compare with so you are entirely one sided like the addict who has lost memory of life without drugs . religious fantasy help the cripple but who is the therapist that helps the infirmed get rid of the crutches when possible to live a normal fulfilling life without the it .
from material addiction to religious addiction why not excape the fetters of both ?

Maybe you are more that what you think, and Jesus is just a part of your psyche.
There are no recorded words of Jesus. No Gospel according to Jesus exists.
What we do have is written words that are claimed to be the accounts of the apostles.
These were written in Greek, not a language any of the apostles would have known or used, at best 30 years after the alleged death of Jesus, more realistically 60 to 120 years after.
I am glad for you that you managed to turn your life around, but it is a credit to you, not a mythical being.

That's really nice; I'm happy for you. Personally I do not like Christianity but reading how someone's life has healed is wonderful anyway.
I just want people to realise that whatever works for one does not necessarily work for everyone else, so do not force beliefs on others and especially do not criticise their beliefs (like I see in replies to this post already). That just creates disharmony and grows into silly battles and even wars.
So if Jesus represents more in the life of the poster, that is wonderful for him. People need more support than demeaning criticisms in this world.

I do firmly believed that Jesus is the full and final revelation of God to mankind, since choice is the obsolute will given to man, the choice of man is, its either you believed, accept and follow him or you rejects his claim.
He is really more than what we think and expect. Many people believed that this man walk the earth more than 2000 years ago, he was called a prophet, a priest, a shepherd, a messiah, a teacher and the most revealing fact about him is that, he became a living sacrifice for those who would accept him as lord and saviour. He is called the son of man, for he was born of a virgin (a human) and for this reason he know what is like to be human.
Yet few did believed in this man called Jesus of Nazareth, as it is written "many were called but only few are chosen"
Jesus once said - "come to me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest" Nobody did experience that rest, thou they know Jesus. This intimate relationship he offer to those who would follow him and experience the awesome feeling of being with the Son of God and God himself were never experience by those living in compromise world.
Jesus said -
"I and the Father are one"
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
"I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name."
"Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."

I think you're right!
And I already think Jesus is:
Wonderful Counselor
The Mighty God
The Everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace
The Savior
The Redeemer
The Incarnate Word
The Good Shepherd, AND the Lamb of God
The Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End
The Lord of All
The Name above all names
It is amazing to think that he is probably even MORE than this!
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
1 Corinthians 13:12
Thanks for your beautiful testimony!

How old are you and how many years have you spent helping the blind and the old? Have you seen the under side of life? It aint pretty. Once you visit a foster care house, you might want to preach less and do more to help. Be a real "christian" rather than have an enlightened moment by your self in a clean room where you jerk off half the day.

The human imagination is so beautiful and so powerful! It is amazing all things people imagine about Jesus! I bet he was nothing like what modern Christians imagine him to be. I bet if he were around today he would be labeled a fanatical cult leader. I think he would despise the contemporary evangelical church.

Maybe. And then again, he also could be less than what I think.
It's great that you have found your path in life that you think got you out of your substance abuse. It's great that you found what you need to believe in.
I don't think reading his alleged words (for he did not write them), would do me any good. Please stop preaching, and witnessing to me.
I am fine the way I am, as an atheist.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I like your last paragraph. We are so scared, as Christians, to talk about ghosts and magic, but those of us who have experienced spiritual attacks know that they exist. Father, Son & Holy Spirit seems to be a hard concept for some to grasp, but when we simplify it, it's readily understood.
