I have never met Jesus Christ. I personally believe that all religions have control structures that try to brainwash people. However I also believe in letting everyone believe whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone and incite hatred or violence. Sadly this is not always the case and religions have been responsible for untold deaths in the names of "Christ" or some other name. Most religions are peaceful in essence - it is only those who wish to twist the concepts for their own purposes that cause the problems. Mostly people look to religion because they are looking for answers for what happens when we die. I have found my answers in the plant kingdom and know the truths deep in my heart.
