Pastor: We should all Strive to be more like Jesus

[Soph0571]

1. Jesus is a fictional construct, just like...

...Lincoln in that vampire movie. Walking on water...pffft...weak...at least Thor has a means to fly.

[Major Nikon]

2. Rather than evidence of divinity it looks much more like a hoax for idiots

[NeoGreen]

3. IKR...

...except, I might suggest it is better described as an infectious agent seeking those with compromised immune systems. Oh, and I should add, 'metaphorically'.

[Major Nikon]

4. Metaphorical Jesus does help some sleep better at night

When you can’t quite manage to delude yourself enough to buy into all the bible’s silliness, it’s Metaphorical Jesus to the rescue. Then all you have to do is delude yourself into thinking the anonymous biblical authors didn’t mean what they obviously meant.

[NeoGreen]

5. Which leads to the ultimate question...

...does it (have to) mean anything (more than what we assign)?

6. 1) Literal Historical Miracle Jesus is a bad, "false Christ"

2) And his sly, word-"twist"ing successor - Spiritual Metaphor Jesus - is just as bad, in his own way. As even the Bible itself belatedly suspects at times (James 2.14-26, etc.).
