See there we have it ' pagan heathen '
They are brainwashed because Jesus would never say that, this is why religion causes wars etc: that attitude.
You may enjoy reading ' The Gospel of Thomas ' which was deliberately not included in any Church teachings. The Jesus who spoke in this Gospel is the one I believe in. I think you will enjoy it and you can show your friends also.
