I find that many people out there that call themselves christians when they need to be think they are better than jesus. this is because from an early age in the west it is done that jesus is looked at as a nerdy attachment to themselves. this is because jesus is law abiding and spreads joy, never having an image of a 'bad boy,' yes?

So, you don't like jesus because he was a 'nerd.' he never got into anyone's face, so never stood up for what he believed in. every time you tell teenagers that he flipped out at the gambling in a church they would obviously think that was 'cool,' yes? this is because the people that obey are sheep, those that rebel are seen as leaders. it is no secret that in the west, they also always support overseas rebels - hey wait a minute, always? yes always!

This is due to brainwashing by the media, think of movies where steven seagal kills the bad guys... people love that stuff! so our idea of a hero is a killer that aids rebels, so far, yes? then there is the obsession with having a lingo that he can fall in ranks with the bad guys and underworld... that is definitely not jesus!

On the other hand, women tend to love jesus more, having less of these fantasies about being a bad ass good guy, of course. this means that jesus is a role model of yesteryear, or, we are not good role models, idolizing these values, of course.

This must be some other Jesus. The Jesus in the Bible chased the money lenders out of the Temple with a whip, openly called the authorities hypocrites, full of unclean things, children of Hell, blind guides, neglectful of justice and law, greedy and self-indulgent, descendants of those who murdered the prophets, snakes and vipers. He openly consorted with tax collectors, whores, Samaritans and other outcast people against the conventions of the Jewish people of the day. Hardly a nerd.
 
Jesus doesn't offend me nearly as much as his "followers."
