Personally, I do believe in the eternal existence of Jesus Christ on a metaphysical and deeply personal level, I do, but I don't count myself as a Christian. I live by a few Christian values, but certainly not all of them, because a lot of them are pure rubbish. I don't think God is a Christian, or a Buddha, or an Allah, or a Yahweh. I think that by choosing to believe in some deity we do, in some way, approach a greater reality. I do believe in a greater reality, one that is far too magnificent and complex for me to ever understand at all or in any way...but I do approach it all with an open mind and some good qualities, from the stars above, to the taps we make with our shoes dancing homewards on the crooked concrete of the town.
