Question

Jesus is the light. Does that mean "Christian" is just another word for "Moth"?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Hmmm. You may be onto something. If I may extend your metaphor...the church is a giant lightbulb, and moths keep going towards it, but in fact it is nothing but a clever invention.  

Answer 3

You just blew my mind; God has just been disproved.

Answer 4

Yes, and Satan is the bug zapper that surrounnds the light.  

Answer 5

No, look closer.

Answer 6

No, it does not.

The phrase "Jesus is the light" is figurative.  The meaning is symbolic.

But of course you know this.  You're just using this as a way to mock us.

Answer 7

we are to be Christ like. that is what Christian means.

Answer 8

Yes.

By this logical allegory, it is the truth

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

mabye its taka nuve

Answer 11

That's a good one!  We Christians are truly like moths, we are attracted to the Light and those get burned and perish in its flame for love of the light are the martyrs.  

Now what can we say of flies, these pesky and dirt-loving insects that do not care about the Light, can we say -without being accused of being unscientific, gullible and hostile - they are winged synonyms of atheists?

Answer 12

it is not right to make-fun of peoples religion... but that was a good one

Answer 13

No Jesus being the light is also saying that Jesus is truth so Christians would be associated with truth.

Answer 14

Actually Christ is not a name.  Properly, Jesus name is Yeshua bar Joseph.  He is called Jesus, the Christ.  Christ or Christos means "The Annointed One"

So Christians are followers of "The Annointed One"

Answer 15

If jesus was a light, then as a metaphor, yes

Answer 16

Is your question intended to stir up Christians.

It is so poorly written it could be interpreted more than one way, and very negative.
