*LOL* I guess he was very passionate about everything he did. :D I'd love to read a good biography about him as a person, but I don't think there many of those, because the authors would immediately be pestered by the fundies. As soon as someone even hints that Jesus was just a man, with a man's needs and faults, the proverbial shit hits the fan.
But that's just why I think he's fascinating: because he was human, just like you and me. Even though he could do some stuff, he was still a man. With my background, I've seen it from both sides: my parents aren't religious, but they always put me on Christian schools, because their friends' children went there, and the schools had good reputations. I quickly learned how hypocritical it all was, though. Like, one day a boy came up to me and hit me, and I hit him back. Guess who got detention? Me, because I should have turned the other cheek. Yeah, right! In secondary school it was even worse. You won't believe the total asswipes they had 'teaching' there, and spouting nonsense.
For a long time I didn't want anything to do with it, but then I started travelling to Greece, and I saw how important Easter was to the Greek people, and I really started to think about what Easter meant, and I got more interested in Jesus' life story. That's how I ended up being a Jesus fan. But I'm not religious. Not at all. I guess it would be impossible to explain this to a Christian, though. :)
