Jesus was a human being. And religion is man-made.
Jesus - as a human being - wasn't perfect either.
But the idea of Jesus / his message was perfect.

I'll never understand, why it is a problem to compare recent human beings with past human beings, who were sainted after death by human beings. Never.

Wow...this may cause a stir.
I've come across a few people on the web that tell people they worship...yes "worship" Michael Jackson. But Michael is a human who made mistakes just like the rest of us. He is by no means perfect. He was Christ-like but not Christ. Sorry for posting this and sounding all preachy and biblical but it is what it is.

Exodus: 3-6

3 Do not have any other gods before me.

4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me,

6 but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Michael read the bible. He said many times that he is just like the rest of us. He is all about love. Giving and receiving love. But I'm certain getting millions of people to worship him is not his goal.

Peace and L.O.V.E.

~ Lizzie  :D

Here here. I agree with you. I don't think you sound preachy.  :)

Michael was a human being with talents and flaws just as the rest of us.

Let me just say please please I'm NOT telling others what to believe in. I am simply stating what I believe in. Please do not feel like I am pushing my beliefs on anyone. I am simply stating MY beliefs. No disrespect to anyone.

But I believe in Jesus and I believe He is The Son of God and He came to this earth in human form but He was flawless. So He died for our sins because He (Jesus) was perfect.

Michael was/is a human being. He came into this world like the rest of us. Michael had/has great talents. Of course Michael was very charitable. I believe he was/is a wonderful person with wonderful qualties yet of course many misfortunes. But Michael wasn't Jesus.

I believe that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice by dying for us.

Michael has said himself that he didn't think he was Jesus. though I know shmuley has said that he (Michael) had/has a messiah like personality. though i know that is just one man's opinion. but I hope Michael always stayed generous yet always humble. I just think Michael wanted to feel loved.

So I don't believe in worshipping Michael. but I think he should have been respected as any other human being should, if not loved and admired for the wonderful generous talented HUMAN that he was/is. :D

IMO..

with L.O.V.E. always :D

People forget sometimes that Michael was a HUMAN BEING, he was not god and that is not what he sees himself as so this site creeps me out a little bit to be honest.

image of the first website remind me of the illusion of JC image, do you remember? You're supposed to stare at the middle of the image for 30 seconds and then look at a white wall or something !! I agree the artworks of the second website are ugly, IMO  :| look like blood everywhere !!  :shock:

Very interesting point. I was going to say that one can make the argument that we, in general, do "worship" celebrities for we do put them on a pedestal, subconsciously or consciously. People use the word idol, a musical God, or think of some celebrities as a saint (i.e. Michael Jackson) so is it really that far off to have a religion after him? We also are all here because we believe that he is alive and some of us think he has a very important message for us. Doesn't that sound familiar? Also, in Christianity, members worship Jesus Christ, who was a human being in the Bible (as Ninanina pointed out).  There are other examples in other religions but I'll just leave it there.
Awareness + Awakening = Higher Consciousness

Ugh.   :roll:

That is terrible that people are so lost that they'll worship or build a religion/cult around an entertainer.
Even though Michael is probably the best on the planet.   ;)
I honestly think there are a few members of the "church" on this site. shudder

I am a christian.. But honestly..

I believe in Michael even more than Jesus..

I've seen what Michael have done, and I know he atleast did amazing stuff.
I would convert to Michael Jackson religion.

Jesus did never come back, Michael will hopefully. Everything is BeLIEve, but this is something I'm so sure about.

This sounds like a cult. I am a fan not a fan(atic).

There is also a site somewhere that promotes the "church of latoya".

I just studied this subject in shcool, when people create their own religions. Our school book questioned what religion really is. I tried to look for my book, but can't find it anywhere ...
Anyway, it said something that believing and worshipping can for example be also when someone's very interested in sports. People can act like they would actually think sports as their religion, but not maybe actually doing their own religion to it.
Don't know more about the subject but ... They may not worship Michael as a god. I wouldn't be part of a religion like that, but if some people want it...

Well, there is a religion for Elvis too, and I could say I'm quite suprised that there wasn't religion for Michael until now.
