I had a relationship with a criminal (two actually).  She was extremely adept at manipulating those around her and convincing the naïve that she was some kind of angel.  Steadily I grew to know of her crooked past, but trying to have a loving relationship with her, I repeatedly tried to leave all that illusion in the past.  She had such a shady past that few men would be prepared to “take her on” so the pity I felt drove me to love her more and rescue her from her loneliness.  I was totally taken in, but I learned something about the criminal psyche. There was an excerpt on the radio from a Radio 4 play; some weepy female was distraught at the break up of her relationship with a crook.  “I though if I gave him lots of love he would change his criminal ways” she sobbed.  Summed up my experience.  You may find you give and give to such evil people, but in return they may not change.  They may actually take and take.  In my instance I had nursed her through a serious illness where she had been at deaths door – even after I was prepared to pay the ultimate price and nurse her to her death and feel the grief afterwards – even after that she still continued to use her evil manipulative mind games against me and plenty of others.  I decided if my loving her through her illness didn’t convince her to change her ways, then nothing would.  So I did the wise thing and got out.  Gave my love to someone who was prepared to grow in spirit.  But I learned plenty about criminality. How it merges with mental illness like personality disorder. The lack of respect for others, the inability to see the calm logic of love, the constant taking even when there was never a need to take, the denial inside their minds which warps the perception of reality – finding ways inside them to twist logic and find some way to crush conscience.  The boundaries between mental illness, criminality and pure evil.  Blurred boundaries.  I came out wiser and therefore stronger.  It is not in smugness that I state the fact that she lost – she lost a person trying to be an honest giver, I lost an evil crook.  Cheats don’t prosper, even if it takes to their death beds – their judgment day – to get their come–upance.  Good will always triumph over evil.

Christ may well have existed, and did show us how love can better our lives, but it is possible that his story was embellished by his followers to make him sound like a God.

Without doubt Christ was born of a virgin, died and came back to life physically.
