"Find Jesus"

There are two very common mistakes with regards to religion. Some people follow a religion without ever questioning or digging deeper, and as such completely miss the point of the religion they follow. Other people see this and are led to believe that the religion is just as backward and illogical as the folks who blindly follow it. That's why I ditched Catholicism a long time ago, and why I still refuse to identify with any specific religion.

I can understand telling people to look up Jesus. I mean, he really knew his shit, and he put some awesome ideas into the world. If he was here in corporeal form now, I know we'd be smokin' herb all over the place. BUT he isn't God, he just points the way. Thus, I really can't understand praying to him. There's a Zen saying that goes, "It is like a finger pointed at the moon. Do not look at the finger, or you will miss all the heavenly glory." The finger in that analogy represents the teachings themselves, but I think it fits here too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
