I understand and respect your views, which reflect much of the good reasons for creating religions, and you are spot on in what you say about Christians and Jesus's teachings. My original draft included this passage, reflecting bad reasons for religion, which I edited out as unneccessary within the context of the piece and because the essay was too long: "For example, Christianity (Catholicism) as most of the world knows it today was adapted from existing tenets by Emperor Constantine (who converted to and legalized Christianity in his empire) and his minions in the Council of Nocea to rally his subjects to willingly pay enough taxes to raise an army for the Eastern Roman Empire."

I also edited out this passage which touches upon Jesus's teachings: "Humans, mostly men, created religions, not any higher power nor Jesus, who was and remained a very faithful Jew, whose soul, an Ascended Master residing in the highest vibrational level of “Heaven,” descended to our dimension to incarnate within him and gave Jesus access to universal knowledge normally not provided to the human symbiote. He did not set out to start a new religion nor did he (logical scholars assert he did not found Christianity as the founding tenet of the religion is the resurrection, which if it happened, obviously happened after Jesus’s death), but rather to spread his teachings, founded in Judaism, about how people should treat each other, especially the poor, and ethical duties such as tzedakah, and to call out the hypocrisy of each of the Temple Priests, the aristocracy (Sadducees) and the middle class (Pharisees), and to bring Torah to the farmers and other workers who had not been afforded access."
