Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Sweat
Ever. “I was constructed in a garage in Palo Alto a very long time ago.”
HILLARY CLINTON: You guys are the first to realize that I’m really not even a human being. I was constructed in a garage in Palo Alto a very long time ago. People think that, you know, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, they created it. Oh no. I mean, a man whose name shall remain nameless created me in his garage.

What i am about to say removes the foundation that Christianity rests upon.
So now we have gotten past the idea that Peter pan and the Jesus-god are not real.
This means that there will will be no return of the jesus-god and consequently no end of the world.
We have seen in the video that religion has many good things to offer once the make believe part has been removed
So where do we go from here?
We want to add the structure to our lives that religion has to offer without looking religious.
None of it makes any sense without the teachings to go along with it right?
This is in direct contradiction to the majority of Christian teaching and it is right under their nose.
The Kingdom of heaven is not something that is make believe or something that we have to wait for to enter.
It is within each and everyone of us.
The key to all knowledge is to know thyself.
Everyone of us have within us all we need to be happy.
We simply have to turn around and move in the right direction.
If our focus is on the outside because we think that somehow if we just find the right teaching we will somehow become enlightened we will be disappointed.
We have to turn inside and not look back.
We are all prodigal sons and daughters on a journey that will eventually lead us back home.
Home is not some make believe place.
We can return whenever we choose to turn around.

I dont understand how christianity applies to my post in a thread i dient create.
The video did say we didnt need to believe the dogma. He was focusing on how religious structure (community, appreciation and guidence in life through non religious means...say philosophers, and so forth). I found his points sound.
As for the relation to christianity, Im at a lost.

If there is no pretend jesus-god there is no Christianity.
It is clear that he tried very hard not to offend anyone.
I am not concerned with whether i offend when it comes to this subject.
What he was advocating, is that religion has some good things to offer but the pretense has to be removed.
There is nothing left but a skeleton after you remove the pretense, and all he said is worth anything is the skeleton.
Any good Christian would be offended by what he said.
He gutted Christianity and he did it with a great deal of tact.
So while you are correct in stating that what he said is a sound argument, it is in fact incomplete.

When i look in my directory, i see the direction for me.
I am who i am and who i will always be,
And if i want, i will go climb a tree.
I am the same as everyone else,
but as different as can be.
I see right, you see left,
you see up, i see down.
If it weren't this way we could never get around.
So yes, i already have a directory,
and that directory is me.
You have a directory too, and that directory is you.
I am unable to fit into another, for it is not a natural thing to do.
