And I really don't believe He said (I can pick and choose…after all it's MOI) to the Apostles "I will be with you until the end of time." Nah, sounds too much like He was favoring religion! No way.

He was not really a Teacher, because that might involve doctrine, believing and discipline. He was cool, and was only spiritual like me. I'm a good person, I like sunsets and trees and I don't go for submission or surrender. I don't hurt anyone and that is all God wants. Doesn't want worship - dull. Doesn't want praise - egotistical. Doesn't want us to think of Him. It's all about us and our self created little world.

No offense, but I have read your post twice and I am unclear on the point you are trying to make
