Well, Jesus did say a lot of terrific things, but the guy had a real attitude problem. If you read the gospels carefully, you'll see he got irritated and pissed off rather a lot. He hated having his authority questioned, and rarely missed a chance to snap at someone, even though he usually granted their requests when he'd calmed down. And for gods' sakes, the guy killed a perfectly innocent tree because it didn't have any fruit for him to eat when he felt peckish. That's an awfully prickly dude right there.

But for the most part, he did teach good stuff.

*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. :)
