the bible was designed as a tool for social control to keep men asleep, meek and feeling worthless in the face of god. No enlightened man would say he and he only is the way the truth and the life, unless he was speaking as god the father who is the way the truth and the life but salvation does not depend on the form of Jesus it depends on you/us waking up, the kingdom of god is within.
I am not trying to appease either the religious or atheist crowd when I share my thoughts.
