ORIGINAL: Termyn8or "....about Jesus possibly not being the son of god, for I think Islam have a better angle on this, he was a prophet, one amongst many, who were I suspect natural leaders and teachers and used their gift to observe well and inspire others. Yeah and I agree with your reference to shitstorm, because I am going to add to it, I have referred to Jesus as a hippie before now, for his reported approach of peace and understanding to me says hippy." IIRC Jesus was crucified by his own words. I could be wrong but was He not asked if He was THE Son Of God, and said yes ? And also that popularity could've saved Him, rather than the thief they spared that day. That says hippie to me. Just about everything you can envision says hippie. A beard, a free lifestyle, not owning a bunch of shit, wander around probably having a good time. Hurting noone and letting anyone into the crowd as long as they could get along. Who knows what they were smoking........ Jesus did not say "yes I'm the son of God" he said "That's what you say that I am". He was not popular that day. Pilate was giving them an out in offering Jesus up to be released vs Barabas, a known very bad guy. Jesus was a rebel. He was challenging the status quo. He was challenging ritual vs true faith. To be pious then, it was separating oneself from the unclean goyim. He went among the outsiders to teach his message (Tax collectors, women of ill repute). When questioned about teaching outside the temple, his reply was he was going to where the sick in spirit were. Rebel all the way.
