It's a curious thing, but not uncommon. I wouldn't really bother engaging with uk9994 on this topic, as she is convinced she is right and appears to be deeply satisfied with her own interpretations, and appears quite unable to recognize some of the biases and emotional programming that underlies them.

Part of the lies that work on some people are to generate a projected interpretation of Christ that is <undesirable> and then establish that as the sticking point, on which all future rejections can work.

Example, the idea that "Jesus needed to be murdered and tortured so that sinful people could go to heaven". I mean, that really is archaic, primary school (elementary school) conceptualization of Christ and is purpose. And, obviously, it's an ugly one.

And because it's so crude and crass and obviously immature, it provides a great foundation for UK9 to reject, blame and reaffirm her own interpretations (and antithetical interpretations delivered by others to her).

It's exactly like seeing the corruption and evil that infiltrated and undermined so much of the Catholic Church, or the faults and flaws of religion as a whole, and using that as a justification for why Communism is the great liberator - a 19th century idea that gave so much power to Marxism.

Tell me that the sun is just an illusion! Tell me that when I breathe, I'm NOT breathing air. Tell me that every day I live my life, I'm not really here or that I don't really have a family. Reality is experienced, and cognized, and resonates.

If you have experienced Jesus on some level, you can no more denier the reality of him than you can of the existence of the sun, ths stars, or of your own breathing lungs.

But whereas these things are experiences of an objective material reality, a reality virtually forced upon us by the fact that we cannot always keep our eyes, ears, nose, skin, etc, closed, contrastively, one is able to either open or close one's mind, and thus, certain realities that can only be experienced subjectively can be forever kept out of our mind and our experience.

That's why pursuit of and experience of the truth is such a challenging thing. It requires personal choice and responsibility, and a willingness to face the internal challenges that come with recognizing the flaws and faults underlying my own personality and heart.
