I’m curious, Dan, what you believe about Jesus. Traditional Christianity teaches that Jesus was the son of God who was sent to us to atone for our sins. By being brutally tortured and murdered. As you write, Really?! If not that, then who/what was he? Son of God, divine being, inspired prophet, construct of some Jewish mystical ascetics? I’m curious about what you are left with when you strip away all the BS and sociopathic manipulation, as you seem to have done.
