I agree with the whole concept of what you are describing.
I'm just pissed off that the Romans adjusted the religion to fit their
traditions and isolated and killed the Jewish people who were believers and
then shifted the religion to be anti-Jewish, and caused untold misery and death
in the name of this Roman religion.
The forgot that Jesus was a man, and tried to make him into a kind of Caesar,
like they had in Rome, where Caesar was considered a God.
So, the Romans, with their concept of God as Caesar just replaced the Jesus as
God thing, in their concept of God.
Jesus calls God the Father, and would not like the Roman symbols rampant in the
so-called church built in his name.
The Romans are so into blood, that they even incorporated the blood ceremony
into the Mass.
Strange religion.
