    I’m not convinced Jesus was a realist. I think He might have been a soulist. After all, He told His disciples that if they had enough faith in themselves, they could do miracles just like His. I think maybe He wanted everyone to ascend to divinity.

    If Jesus - a poor, brown-skinned, Middle-Eastern, Jewish, socialist, refugee hippie who spent his time hanging out with prostitutes, kissing men on the lips, and telling people to pay their taxes and take care of the poor and sick - were here today, conservatives would have him back up on the cross before the end of the week.

      I mean the conservatives of his time did just that. So why would it be different today?

        Today they’d be chanting “Not My Jesus” while holding upside-down Bibles or something.

    The Gandi quote about Jesus isn’t actually from him. However, Indian philosopher Bara Dada in the mid-1920s did say, “Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians, you are not like him.” So it was probably a common thought among non-Christian believers.
