It's open season on Jesus. No opinion is too small or too far out not to be painstakingly considered by the most eminent scholars. It turns out, the Jesus of the gospels that we've believed in for over 2000 years is not the right guy.

As it happens, only 21st century wise men have been able to map out the journey to find the "real" Jesus, who turns out to be--shockingly--not the different and wondrous Bethlehem manger baby turned Saviour bloodied on the cross then resurrected, but...

...Amazingly like these latter day wise men themselves. Turns out He only wanted us to be happy in this world, disdaining any sort of war, decrying threats to the environment, being happy and peaceful in THIS world, not the next! After all, they say, the kingdom of God is the here and now. No need to sacrifice, to pick up our cross, to evangelize. Why impose our views on others, when it turns out happily, EVERYONE is right! (Except you, if you hold to a traditional, exclusive view of Jesus as the only way, truth and life.)

From the slanderous fiction of the Da Vinci Code, to the soothing lies of Brian McLaren's Emergent Church, to the renewed onslaught of newfound links in human evolution, to the foisting of false, discredited gospels by Elaine Pagels, the lies of this conspiracy are NOT NEW.

The roots of this conspiracy lie in the ancient untruths of gnosticism propounded by Satan and his human cohorts in the first century, when Christianity was first spreading throughout the world. An integral part of the counter attack on this plot is understanding the historical, biblical and philosophical roots of this battle, which was already won long ago, and must be won again.

I invite you to join me in fighting this conspiracy. Join the alarmist, extremist, narrow-minded people like me who take Jesus' words at their face value (what a crazy, naive thing to do!)
