    Howdy,

    Since this is a specific (i.e. religious) matter, I post this here, not in the "poll" section.

    So, Jesus - what do you think about him? A teacher, a god, THE god, a prophet, a PR specialist, a myth - what is Jesus Christ to you?

    :)

    P.S. A multiple answer poll. Up to 3 answers.

    I tend to think he had the capability of people like Hitler, Mussolini, Jim Jones, Charles Manson and trump. He had the gift that allowed him to con the weak minded people.

    Myth. There are demonstrably false aspects to the stories.

    Jesus was that guy you despised because he thought he was holier than thou. And a martyr - he loved martyrdom.

    I voted 'God (as part of the Holy Trinity)'. But I should explain a bit further. My philosophizing on the subject leads me to believe that Jesus is (floabt) a 'new version' of God. Specifically, a version of God with the knowledge of what its like to be mortal, which affords Him a perspective that immortal God did not have. Whether the 'old version' of God ceased to be with the transformation into Jesus or whether theres now 'God 1' and 'God 2', is a great question... but prolly doesnt matter. The salient point is that when God became or created Jesus and gained the perspective of living as a limited mortal, He altered his covenent with His children (us) and changed from 'law-giver' to 'forgiver.'
