Further, what is "the message of Jesus," exactly. He is supposed to have said many things. Some of them reflect the wisdom that pretty much all religions and societies espouse. What he said that is commonly believed to be good actions and thoughts is just fine, as far as I'm concerned. As far as I know, I generally follow all of those rules, because they are the rules of most societies.
Or, is the "message of Jesus" the concept that only belief in Jesus can save you from an eternity of punishment? He said that stuff, too, according to the third-hand words attributed to him. I reject that nonsense, since I reject the concept of anything after the death of the individual that pertains to that individual.
So, what is that message, guillaumeb that you so blithely drop in your post? Which parts do you follow? Are there parts of his message that you don't follow? How do you decide, I wonder?
Still, thank you for adding your personal comment to your fragment from your link. It is to that I am responding, since I have no knowledge of that person.
