: Yes, an important message for me anyway is how Jesus looked at people versus how some conservatives (and yes liberals) view the role of women and how they are to be treated. So much of what people believe to be based on scripture etc etc is simply not true. Yes, even slavery was considered OK since the slaves were "dark skinned" and so on and so forth. Another message for me is that one cannot and should not take the Bible as the infallible words of God - but words that were translated and passed on from man to man with every man adding his interpretations and prejudices and beliefs and forcing the followers to accept them. But EVEN TODAY, there are those who cannot accept anything other than "Bible is the word of God in it's entirety" and simply refuse to examine anything that contradicts that. Oh well ... words that help a few gain power over many [[User:Seekcommon]]
