Christ was an Atheist

Someone once said that "The lovely thing about Jesus was that he was so at home with sinners, because he understood that he wasn't one bit better than they were." The Christian dupes themselves into believing they see themselves as no better than those they define as "sinners," but what they really mean is that they only feel comfortable being around people who agree with them about what a "sinner" is, and are the most uncomfortable when they are around people who fail to "believe" in the same definition. 

That is, Christians are only comfortable around those who accept the tradition of defining people as "sinners." What they should be comfortable with, however, is a new perspective that rejects such labels as "sinners" to begin with, as they are simply a means of control by those who lust for power - and nothing more.  

By challenging sacred "beliefs" and traditions, Christ was no different than Socrates, and both had more in common with the atheist than the religious believers who, convinced of the "truth" of their sacred religious "beliefs," sought to kill both Christ and Socrates for being enemies of the status quo. 

In fact, the earliest Christians were all seen as atheists for refusing to accept the God's of Rome, and were similarly persecuted by devout "believers" for all of the economic ills that Rome increasingly found itself to be suffering from.  

And today, who but the Christian claims to "be like God, knowing right from wrong," which is exactly the "sacred" knowledge the serpent promised Adam and Eve would receive by eating the fruit of forbidden knowledge  in the Garden of Eden?

Indeed, the Christian even drinks the blood of that dead fruit every week, which hangs from the dead tree called a cross, which they worship in their churches as "the tree of life," even though it is simply an instrument of torture and death.

And if Jesus were alive today, the Catholic Church would work tirelessly to ensure He was crucified for daring to challenge it's "infallible" claims about God, and more importantly, what it means to be a human being.
