I hope someone will come along and steer me on this, me being a seriously interested atheist. I hope someone will jump in and help me out here. [:)] Who says you have to be any of those things to follow Jesus. I don't recall a single place where Jesus declared a religion. And as far as how to follow him, look at his teachings and not just the words but the "spirit" of his words. Love, brotherhood, helping the poor and sick. He talked alot about forgiveness and very little about condemnation. Even if you don't believe the story of his death and resurrection, his teachings still offer a moral path for living, without the dogma of religion. Take a second look, Lady C. Jesus was preaching the End of Days and seperated the sheep from the wolves, the least from the most, the first from the last, the saved from the condemned. It wasn't all love and roses yanno.
