No Jesus As God, No god As God.

[Guest guest]

L.E: This letter is a futile attempt to clarify a very serious matter, but it

won't help. Because ignorance, self-centeredness, and ego rule the people of

the earth with only a few exceptions, there is little anyone can do to fix

it. Also, the same kind of exact literary analysis can be used to disprove the

existence of god which the author does not care to attempt. If you got rid of

every superstition and false belief of christianity, judiasm and islam, very

little would remain. The same is true of every religion that depends on belief

instead of actual experience.
