Poem or song lyrics?
At the foot of the cross
I could scarce believe my loss
My Saviour and my friend
Nailed there to die
As Jesus took the pain
His loss became my gain
My Saviour and my friend
Was born to die
As the truth was sinking in
I felt lighter without sin
My Saviour and my friend
He took it all
His wounds were plain to see
By his stripes he set me free
My Saviour and my friend
He died for all
Before he came to earth
Born of the Virgin birth
My Saviour and my friend
Had been with God
He came that we might live
Giving all He had to give
My Saviour and my friend
He came from God
Some still ask why He came
And will He rise again?
My Saviour and my friend
He came to save
I thought that all was lost
When He paid the final cost
My Saviour and my friend
Was in the grave
But I know He’ll come again
And in glory He will reign
My Saviour and my friend
Will rescue me
His death on the cross
Was victory not loss
My Saviour and my friend
Has set me free

I love this poem
Written by audrie (454 comments posted) 10th July 2007 | I think Jesus was a highly evolved being, with unconditional love for his fellow men. A really beautiful soul, who gave us a creed to live by, but how many of us follow it?
'Do as you would be done by.' Who could fault that for sheer common sense
This is a lovely poem. | He "probably" existed...
Written by Talisker (1328 comments posted) 12th July 2007 | As for the details, most of it was made up in the middle ages by hundreds of different scribes, conflicting wildly in detail. The chosen gospels are completely inaccurate and contradictory, yet millions swallow it as "truth".
This "Jesus" myth is no better than any other fairy tale, only this one results in thousands of deaths, endless misery, meek acceptance of a shitty life in the hope of better things when we're rotting in a box, or a puff of smoke from a crematorium chimney...
I don't find this stuff even harmless and "nice" - it's untrue and the basis for mass hysteria, just like the Koran and all the other wicked texts...why do you feel the need for this? Can you not just be a good human being in your own right, without giving some late iron age celebrity all the credit?

Hmm... I've obviously mis-understood the purpose of putting work up for review probably in the same way that you don't understand the message of Christianity. But hey... I don't intend to ram my beliefs down other's throats.

Written by Talisker (1328 comments posted) 12th July 2007 | Let me enlighten you - the purpose is that the piece will be reviewed for form and content. The form of your piece is unremarkable, so I commented on the content. What's not to understand?
I have no "beliefs" I rely on historical and scientific facts. I don't have any time for these "beliefs" in either fairies or gods.
Please don't patronise though - I understand fine, then I reject.

I certainly have no wish to offend your faith. But to say you rely on historical facts and then say that Jesus 'probably' existed made me smile.

Written by Talisker (1328 comments posted) 12th July 2007 | No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus were written well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings. Not one shred of archaeological evidence (unlike the Pharaohs or Caesar or any other "real" figure of the time).
How do you explain this, Chris? What exactly is your evidence?
To say that I "don't understand" something - when you don't know me - I find patronising in the extreme. This is always the refuge of "believers", to suggest that the subject is beyond their tiny minds - too big to understand, requires a "faith" which "god" has chosen not to bless them with.
Also, for the record, I have no "faith" to offend. It is my intellect that you attack. This is far more precious to me than any mythical belief system.

I think it better I send you a pm. I don't think it appropriate to be having this debate on my belief versus yours here.
