Why not simply say (if you need to), either I believe in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth or the (those) people who believe in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
I think most people today actually with or without knowing it believe in just the people, the community that exist today that is perpetuated all throughout the society. Creating the entire identity that holds all the beliefs in a kaleidoscope of ideas (clashing). They say they believe in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth but too few actually hold a firm example of exactly what he did in biblical teachings. In denial, they say no man is perfect and so follow what everybody else in their time and age (Pisces)is doing and do exactly as the disciples did; follow and metaphorically drop their nets. STILL few actually drop their nets without coming back three days later to start fishing again instead of going across the globe teaching the gospel as the apostles did and were told. Well anyway, then the kaleidoscope kicks in two millenia later and you have everyone up to their necks in blood and money.
Nowadays it's just "We are more moral than you are, so we're going to heaven and you're not."
Very well thought out and an interesting point of view.
I know some of you are wondering...
There is some religious terminology in this;
"biblical" is fine because it refers to an actual object.
"disciples" is fine because it refers to actual people that can be referenced AND you had previously cited Jesus of Nazareth, so I understood that it was his disciples that you were referring to.
"gospel", there is actually more than one gospel, some of which are included in the Bible, so you should have cited which gospel, as this might be offensive to some people, whether they are religious or not religious, thus creating divisions in society.
Near the end, you had made a reference to a religious concept that might be offensive to some people that do not believe in this concept, whether they are religious or not religious, thus creating divisions in society.
As to gospel in my terms, I am loosely referring to the Nazarene story that propelled itself up the King James Version. The most published book in history I would dare say. The gospel I would loosely form into the words "The good news."
In that accordance to in what you are asking the gospel I am referring to is from the apostles. As I said. Since you do need descriptions of what gospel I am referring to I only state some of the gospels that were included in the bible. As I stated "biblical." Prime examples are the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Let's not forget Paul or Thomas.
Quite frankly I was only answering your question of what they believe in, Jesus himself...or the people who believed.
Yes, I understand my answer was indeed fractional, and the "blood money" remark distasteful, but only the facts for what I was saying was the same reason you gave for the divisions in society; War, terror, hatred and distrust...
In my defense, your question directly incited a answer that could only provide a divisional answer. As the question itself was divisional in it's very nature.
Why are you creating divisions in society from your question?
The basic idea is not to create further division in society. Ideally, what should happen is for persons to heal the divisions that exist in the world today. As I stated previously, we should all endeavor to discover what we share in common with one another, rather than bickering about our (sometimes minor) differences. Should
you feel a need to have a religious belief system, why not try to negotiate a mutually agreeable system with others? Once a significant majority of religious persons in an area decide favourably, (I would recommend 75%, but that's up to you to decide), then the existing religious organization would cease operation, and the new updated organization would begin. Less division.
Is it normal that I'm tired of anti-Christians?
