From my brief studies into the life of Jesus The Master Teacher, he was indeed a humble, and extremely loving person; he was certainly not by any stretch of the imagination, what we’d call arrogant. And yet today at the beginning of the 21st century some 2000 years later, I find that too many of his so-called followers are arrogant in the extreme, as they haughtily proclaim that unless you believe exactly as they do, you and your life is dammed, and you’re on the fast track to Eternal Damnation. Oh how terribly arrogant and indeed self-righteous these so-called followers of The Master Teacher can be. Now, let me give you a specific example as I do like to talk about concrete FACTS, rather than ramble on in an ambiguous manner about what may have, or could happen. There’s a particular commercial radio station in my home town, who have by their own volition opted to play so-called sacred music, from early on Sunday morning right up to the midday hour. This is done to accommodate the numbers of people in The Bahamas who profess to be Christians. Now, from approximately midday on Sunday regular type music is played on the station in question up until about 6.00 P.M., when once again the station returns to playing classical and/or music of a sacred nature, as opposed to secular music. Now believe it or not, when the CEO of this particular radio station was hosting a talk show, a particular Reverend called the show and complained bitterly, that the station plays too much secular music on Sundays, and that they should just play sacred music ALL Day on Sundays, just I presume to accommodate him. My oh my, the sheer arrogance of so many so-called Christians is indeed outrageous. Christians need to get it into their heads, that they are in fact a minority in the world. That’s right, the present population of the world in just in excess of six billion people. Out of this world population there are only one billion Christians, or one sixth of the entire world population. The most rapidly growing religion at the beginning of the 21st century is of course Islam, who also presently have approximately one billion members worldwide. Then of course, there are vast numbers of people spread throughout this great big world of ours like me, who don’t wish to have anything whatsoever to do with any religion, but who opt instead to live spiritual lives, which are not based on any man-made dogma or doctrine. If Christians wish to be really true to the wonderful teachings of The Master Teacher Jesus ‘The Christ’, they need to immediately get down off their ‘High Horse’, stop being so very arrogant in their pronouncements, and simply be humble and meek like Jesus ! !
