  THE ANSWER:  I believe that I have already struck at the very heart of the issue and perhaps even more importantly, I have begun to address some terrible travesties that have plagued mankind since my death.  I'm not sure that I could have any more of a positive impact on the outcome of man's future than what was once an earnest effort, yet obviously a dismal failure, some 2000 years ago.  I am not quite sure just where to continue this line of thought as some inner, sensitive and loving part of me is now experiencing an overwhelming feeling of total despair.  My own Hebrew people's struggle with daily life back then does not even begin to compare with some of the despairing situations that exist in the world today, and I mean both politically and spiritually as well.  Man had totally surrendered his physical being to that figurative and mortal Caesar, and has in large part and with few exceptions apparently abdicated his moral authority to a secular body of the liturgical fiends claiming some spiritual relevance.  And this world today is so large and vast beyond anything that I had ever imagined when I was alive; giving me cause to believe that all of this is beyond any reasonable repair even if I were that report "savior."  To even begin any effective changes that might have a positive effect on man's future, would require the total abandonment of these unrealistic fairy tales and mythologies that have only served to destroy any hope for anyone to fully experience life, liberty and the that most desired pursuit of happiness.  There is no doubt that many good things have been accomplished in my name, and to that I am humbly grateful, but the unnecessary loss of even one life in the name of this felonious God totally negates those otherwise positive contributions.  And when you consider the thousands, probably even millions of lives that have been laid to waste over these past 2000 years for no other imaginable reason than the wanton need of power and greed, there simply is no justification for the existence of any religion, much less the Christian religion that so joyously and enthusiastically fosters so many empty claims that are only realistically self-serving.  Whatever happened to love?  I emphatically withdraw any association with any of these religions that claim to believe in what I had once taught with such passion and simplicity.  How dare any of them use my name, and most particularly when in association with the hate and condemnation that they have repeatedly demonstrated against inclusion of the total brotherhood and sisterhood of all mankind and I emphatically mean to include EVERYONE and anyone that chooses love over hate!  Even for those who sit by and do no harm, they should have at least taken on the responsibility of denouncing those who took my name in such hateful and totally demonstrative vain.  But of course, it goes without saying, “Let him who is without guilt cast that first stone."  I just don't have enough words to fully express the total discuss that I am experiencing at the discovery of what has become such a totally wasteful and evil-ridden religion, and most particularly because of its falsely conceived and unfounded association with that of my own humble name.  Besides the lame theology that has developed in my absence, I am equally taken back with the confounding forms and structures of most Christian religions.  Had I any intentions of furthering an establishment-like form of religion I could have more easily work within the confines of the temple instead of the open spaces of nature.  I am amused at some of the costumes worn by some of the clergy, most particularly that of the Catholic Church; it appears more like some theatrical performance with lavished adornments and costumes.  I'm not sure what messages is actually intended or sent with all of this feminine finery except for some unfounded implication that the exalted clergy is somehow superior to its obedient and sheepish congregations; just another readily fostered fallacy of these pompous churches.

{When Lamah had taken a brief break from the rhetoric of this interview he had broken into tears; I'm sure because he shares this same utter despair at the very thought of the reality of the present state of mankind and its horrific lack of a loving spiritual nature that should be equally shared by all.}

I am also a bit confused at the vast array of the physical structures used for the purpose of worship.  I'm certainly impressed by the grandeur of some of these enormous buildings but also wonder why there is such a dramatic contrast between the greatness of some and the impoverished bleak look of others.  Even in my own day I was never that impressed with the grand structure of some of the Hebrew temples, especially in Jerusalem.  I had always appreciated those places of worship that reflected the simple nature of its occupants, and I had always imagined that more attention should have been rightfully paid to the well-being of the people rather than trying to impress them with imposing architecture.  If there were this great and loving God, I'm sure He would be as equally confounded with the great disparity that is too often evidenced between the clergy of some churches and their conspicuous trappings and that of their general congregations.  There are certainly the wealthy within any given community and some of them even go so far as to rival the church.  All that I have stated thus far does not even begin to deal with the great disparities between the multitude of Christian theologies that all appear to claim some too often remote relationship to my one/singular and own existence; I guess that people are just ignorant enough to believe that I came in so many different colors, shapes and forms.  And that most obvious take on reality just can't be any further from the truth!  So I guess I am left with the task of sorting out the simple truth from this deceptive and illusionary quagmire of religious thoughts and mythologies that has unfortunately accumulated over these past two thousand years; at least as it relates to me.  I'm not sure if mankind, particularly in Western culture, might have been far better off had I never lived and provided this culture with what had become such an erroneous and truly spiritually-devoid religion that even dares to bare what was once my good name.
