State Religion

[Churchill]

As you say...actually no.

He was against the established 'state' religion of the time. Advocating a personal 1:1 relationship with god, rather than the entrenched 'religious machine' of the temple etc.

A bit like the split between 'orthodox' and 'reform' Judaism.

Trust me, my boy.....sheesh! (if u know vot I mean :-)

Remember that he didn't preach Christianity. He was born, lived and died a practicing Jew.

'It has served us well, this myth of Christ'

Cor...even I had to Google that :-)

Maybe a man, maybe a prophet, maybe a composite figure, maybe just a noble aspiration like King Arthur.

We will never know.
