I don't know what to do with this, so I'll restate my actual opinion on the Jesus myth.

I like him - it's just a pity that religious people have ruined his message by turning him into a zombie with superpowers. He actually had many interesting things to say. Absolutely nothing he said was in any way revolutionary for the time it was said. The Greeks, Confucius, the Egyptian gods, and Buddha all said exactly the same things as he did, but many centuries before.

Christians and religious people ruled the earth for centuries, so it's extreme revisionism now to say that Jesus would be fighting for the poor (I agree he would) with the support of Christians. America is the most Christian country on earth, yet it suffers wealth disparity that rivals any of the craziest banana republics, and the most religious party in the country attacks the poor the most. We've seen this through history, and we still see it now.

It's the hypocrisy that irks me so much. I have no idea about your deeds, so I won't comment on them, but there is nothing that exists within christianity today that lives up to the standard set out by a Palestinian political rebel called Yeshua.

If you want to convert me to the message of the church (without believing the fairy stories that go with it), then refocus your efforts on reforming the church. Turn the focus to tolerance and acceptance and we'll have lots of common ground.

Let me explain how Jesus affects my life/thoughts/desperation to destroy him - he doesn't, but I know you're offended by my avatar and username, so why not follow a direct lesson from the man himself, and turn the other cheek.
