Only a fool would say there is no God, yet the ones who say there is no God are not fools. One might wonder, why is this so? I use to think that communication is key, not until I realized that comprehension actually is. You can only understand a person as much depth as you have met yourself.
As one born of the Christian faith, i can categorically tell you that even Jesus Christ was crucified & murdered due to the fact that the people could not comprehend his teachings & point of view. Jesus Christ represented an idea. He stood for Truth, Peace, Unity, Love. He was against the norms of the society which had succeeded in enslaving the people with religion, tradition, tribes, all for selfish purposes.
His aim was to unite the world with the knowledge of the one true God, therefore, free the people from the grip of self-serving institutions, and return power back to the individual. He moved to achieve this by separating God from the institutions & belief system. Jesus Christ was not against the institutions, neither was he against the belief system. Rather, he was against the idea of God as an institute, which has brought about the idea of multiple Gods amongst belief systems.
Paul the Apostle wrote to the Christian church of Corinth, at around A.D. 55 and 56. According to the Bible, 1Corinthians 3:16 “know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?” According to the book of John when Jesus Christ was addressing some individuals at the temple, it is written John 8:58 “Jesus said unto them, verily, verily, i say unto you, before Abraham was, i am.” This statement made a lot of persons very angry, as they did not understand the message. But Jesus Christ was not talking about the flesh, rather he was referring to the Soul which is as old as time. His body was only the temple which houses the Soul.
You cannot say you love God, yet hate your fellow human being. Jesus was not saying anything new, he was only stating the Truth, which has always been but has been misunderstood & politically corrected. You can only love another as much as you love yourself, and the truth is, you actually suffer the most from your hatred. They are your emotions and you feel them alone. According to research, negative emotions weakens the immune system.
After the death of Jesus Christ, he became a symbol for the Christian faith. Christian meaning, like Christ. The term Christ existed long before Jesus that terminology ever came to be. Christ is used to describe a state of an higher consciousness. Jesus only came to show how. To say there is no God, is to not believe in your own existence, yet you do exist. Perhaps what you had meant to say is your idea of God is false?
