Opinion of Jesus Christ

HP, just like anyone else who lead a cult.

What Al said in another thread about the nature of the missing of the point being significant and communicating quite a lot deserves, I think, to be reiterated here.

Ftr, if I actually believed that followers of Christ were like you, or dare I say it, even BRTD, I would vote differently but I know him not as a man, but someone whose followers use his name to punish others. If Christ was the first Christian, and one believes that Christianity has had a negative societal impact at the global level, I don't think an HP vote is unreasonable. But I don't have a high opinion of people who aggressively mock and berate people of faith either.

DemPGH I think gave the closest answer to how I feel but "protest vote" and all.

Negative for the same but opposite reason I think highly of Michael Vick. Despite Vick's obvious negatives, I think he's had an overall positive impact on the people who derive value from the things he does and says and the people they impact. The exact opposite could be said of the cult of character surrounding Jesus Christ.

This is getting to the point of being not worth posting about. If people are going to jump down my throat without offering anything of note to combat what it is I've actually said, what is there to debate? Dibble of course has original notions worth considering, and we agree in general. My original derivation of blame is in perfect alignment with what he just said, yet has gone unacknowledged in the unfortunately shallow criticism of what I've said...what a disappointment. There's so much to talk about, but evidently either I'm completely incapable of communicating my points or there's no desire among my detractors to actually delve into what it is I've asserted.

I don't know if I would agree that Vick had a positive impact on his Eagles teammates.
