18. The Jesus sacrifice
Is an allegory for the truth tellers. Jesus was the ultimate liberal. He cared about the people before himself. I was raised Catholic and have seriously lapsed. My favorite part of Mass were the Gospels. I don't buy the popified political aspect of the church of today (I miss the Latin mass). This man, an historical figure sacrificed himself so that man would be better, we would like to believe. Maybe it has taken more than 2000 years and maybe it will be never that man is better. He is the foundation of true liberal christianity. Care for others before thyself. He lived, he died, he made a difference that has lasted this long. I hope this does not become a bashing exercise, it should be an exercise in understanding.
