You have taken the correct position as any faithful follower of one's faith will take. Moreover, you have expressed your deeply held love and devotion towards Jesus, as a true devotee will undoubtedly do. All praise to you from a fellow devotee of God. You are a Bhakti Yogi (Devotee of God).John Ringland is a scientist trying to KNOW the REALITY by using the concepts like Virtual Reality which are concepts of modern science. He is a Dnyan Yogi(person following the path of knowledge). His views about organised religion are essentially true although a bit exaggerated.
