The Jesus character was a pacifist. All his actions and preaching were pacifist in nature except where he was said to have beaten people selling in the temple. I believe that narrative was added by be Catholic authorities. It makes no sense for Jesus to go to a Jewish temple he was not the chief rabbi and start fighting people selling religious ornaments.
His pacifist doctrines includes;
Turning the other cheek
Stopping the lynching of a woman accused of adultery
Entering the house and eating with gentiles
Eating together on the same table with his followers and disciples. (Abomination in todays Christianity)
Commanding his disciples not to fight the authorities upon his arrest.
Preaching that give what belongs to caesar unto Caesar and God unto God.
Forgive all those who sins against you against the prevailing "an eye for an eye".

That pacifist leader is a complete literary creation, he never existed. It's an invention by Rome! Otherwise, furnish me with his history outside of the bible

The earliest Christians don't call it Sunday, they call it the Lord's day being on the first day of the week. And they have been worshipping on that day since the Ascension of Christ and the beginning of Christianity. It has nothing to do with Roman paganism or what have you. If it falls on the day the world calls Sunday no fuse. That might as well be their headache, it doesn't bother the true Christians.

The "day of the Lord" or the day of the savior or the day of the redeemer or Sunday or whatever have you are all the same because all the other savior gods before Jesus were also all called Lord, savior, Christ, redeemer, the way, the truth, life, etc.

It has nothing to do with naming days (they did not even have the right),just that they worship the Lord on the first day of the week. It's the world that didn't understand what they were doing and twisted it into whatever they liked. They saw the beauty of Christianity and integrated it into their paganism with State laws.

State laws?

We already know how the state (Rome) created it. Christianity was actually integrated into paganism, making it the grand Master of all pagan religions.

But even if you argue it was paganism that was instead integrated into Christianity, it doesn't save Christianity from being a pagan religion all the same.

True Christianity endured just like Jesus assured.

Two thousand years is too short to make that conclusion. There are so many dead religions today but which thrived before Christianity.

Eventually, religion as a whole would die and give way to knowledge (KNOWING) instead of BELIEVING. It's a matter of time.

The KNOWING here is people like you realizing the spiritual world. The spiritual world is eternal and, God in the spiritual world made the physical world. You marvel at the physical world now but when you die, you will realize that there is much more than the physical world.

I am more spiritual than you and your pastor.

It's important you know that KNOWING (knowledge) was part and parcel of earliest Christianity called the Gnostics but Rome shut them down and replaced them with the dumb belief system you have today. That's why today you're religious. But being religious is not the same as being spiritual.

As a Christian or whatever religion you belong to, you're religious but you can't be religious and spiritual at the same time. Any day you become spiritual, nobody would tell you to quit Christianity.

Everything in your bible about "after death" is falsehood.

I don't think religion can ever die. Religion thrives on ignorance and/or poverty. And the religious, political and business elites make sure they keep populace poor, ignorant and helpless. Infact religion will continue to grow within poor impoverished countries of the world.

Aside from that the natural fear of the unknown future and death will always find a place for religion.
Some will also retain religion from sincere awe at the nature of our existence and the spectacle of reality and the universe.

You don't have to go too far to realize that. All you have to do is checkout Christianity and Europe today. They've almost parted ways when compared to the hay days of Christianity in Europe.

By the way, your site www.adasbakes.com isn't working. Seems you make cakes? Just curious.

So what is it to be spiritual - to go against the perfect Will of God?

And the perfect will of God is to create thousands of religious denominations against one another? That instead looks like the perfect will of an anti-God entity.

That was because Europe went through an age of enlightenment where knowledge took over from faith and belief. In most third world countries belief is promoted above knowledge.
Until we place acquisition of knowledge above belief, we will continue to retrogress until we go get back into dark ages or we are completely colonised.

Indeed, our fate in Africa and other colonized countries would be either to be re-colonized or break free.

The problem is that real knowledge, which is self inspired type of knowledge can only occur in our native languages. Only then shall we intellectually override religion as a whole because the argument would be that if foreign religion is slavery and isn't good for us, then foreign language isn't different.

That's the enlightenment that needs to happen but one that we're not prepared for yet. This cultural revolution would have happened in 1962 but Britain and the CIA cornered Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Christopher Okigbo, Ezekiel Mphalele and used them to stop the revolution
