Jesus wasn't a Christian and for that matter Lao Tzu wasn't a Taoist and Buddha wasn't a Buddhist. Like all enlightened beings they walked their own path, they had no use for religion, politics, creeds, or any other form of "right and wrong" as defined by society.
Once Jesus was asked, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"
He replied, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Imagine for a moment, just a moment, a world where we all loved each other - regardless of race, creed, culture, or economic status - a world where we just all loved each other, totally and unconditionally. Where your needs are as important to me as my needs are to me. Where everyone would give everything to support everyone else. Just imagine that....
