I understand that Jesus was quite confrontational to the "religious elite," and this was undoubtedly what caused the authorities, the law, to bring him to death. The truth is still as unbearable today as it was then, but I would rather live an agonizing truth than a comfortable lie. If we really believe in in an afterlife, then that is where we should be making our lives. I am obviously an imperfect creature that latches on to very ungodly things, and I hope that doesn't burden me in the afterlife. I know God is out there, and I know that with sincere inquiry, that the creator and orchestrator of this universe will answer back and show a way to many forms of peace and understanding. I pray that we all be guided in the right and fruitful paths.
