    "Jesus was neither a mediator nor a saviour, neither super-human nor divine; we need to leave him to his place in history and move on

    The world has seen religions come and go; to my mind, no religion is guaranteed permanence, only the searching human spirit, mind and heart are perennial.

    - Andrew Furlong"

    Andrew Furlong, 54, an Irish priest who has repeatedly stated he does not believe Jesus Christ was the son of God has resigned.

    What then was his ulterior motive as a priest?

    part of the article read:

    Furlong, 54, who was ordained in the Anglican Church of Ireland in the early 1970s, has said he has held his unorthodox beliefs for more than 30 years but had not shared them previously with his parishioners.
    What a phoney....for 30 years he taught and lived something he didn't believe in....I guess it was easier than getting a REAL job.

    Spaznik, this ex-priest better take advantage of whatever life he has left.
