   @Lydie @selzero If you want to know more (you probably don't) I wrote about it (in the context of anarchism) in chapter 6 of this freely available book.

     @Black_Flag @Lydie You forgot to link to the book :)

     The modern image of Christ is one that has evolved recently due to Christianity's need to compete with other more humanist philosophies.

     @artemis @Black_Flag @Lydie can confirm this is also true of people "reading" the Quran, and I presume all religious texts.

     There were a lot of Bible passages that I was told were "difficult" to interpret when I was a Christian.

     Once I got a chance to give it a critical look, it turned out they aren't hard to understand unless you are committed to never condemning the wealthy. They are only "difficult" because the people reading them point-blank refuse to understand the plain meaning of the texts.
