My aunt just told me that I need to go to church. I said that I love you, but I dont share your same beliefs. What is your view on "Jesus Christ"

Word...What awakened you?

One of my HS teachers used to drop knowledge about the pagan origins of Christmas, the true history of Easter and other things of that nature. When I was Sophomore I never payed attention to any of it and basically stuck my head in the sand. But when I got older and became a Senior I started paying attention and that inspired me to start doing my own research. I started researching things about the Bible that eventually lead to my belief system crumbling. I found out there was no evidence for the Exodus, Moses' existence, and Abraham's existence. Without those things being true there isn't much of a foundation for Jesus to stand on.

When I enrolled in college later that fall I took a Philosophy class and a Jewish studies class taught by a Rabbi. Attending those classes basically sealed the deal for me.I learned that the Bible doesn't make sense without the oral Torah, there are actually over 600 commandments in the Bible, and that Jesus didn't fulfill any of the Messianic prophecies. My Philosophy class taught me a lot about logic, specifically circular logic which was the way people around me tried to prove the Bible. I learned about other religions and other belief systems. By the end of the semester I was completely done believing.
