Yeah, I don't think we actually disagree about anything. Christianity, as you say, is a thing that was invented after Jesus (just as Buddhism is a thing that was invented after Buddha, Islam after Mohammed, Catholicism after Cathol, etc.). And it has taken multiple evolutionary pathways since (shortly after) Jesus's time, which is bound to happen. He may well be a sincere and faithful Christian, within a particular toxic species of Christianity. I just get shocked from time to time at how people can take a clear message of universal love and, over time, morph it into a self-serving club for assholes. Oh well. That's institutions for you, and we don't seem to be able to manege without them. P.S. I always enjoy talking to you. Thanks!
