Do you not recognize that that archetypal Jesus wants to free your mind from both religious and political dogma and make you a free thinking person?

What is wrong with that character trait?

Is the outcome sought of free thinking not what you would want to give your children?

The "archetypal jesus" is an invention of your own mind, not the character of scripture.  I think it;s amusing that you've somehow transformed jesusism, in your mind, to free thinking.  While that fiction may be, in your re-imagining, some sort of bodhisattva, the jesus of scripture asks questions like- 

"Do bitches even deserve miracles?"

You could have told me you follow the god Bob, who's a super swell dude, and it would've been just that much more coherent.

Oh well. I gave you more credit for knowing what I was talking about than I should have.

How droll that you see the Jesus in scriptures as someone other than someone's mental picture.

If you feel that way, then people have no reason to justify their God's ways at this point.
Correct.

That does not mean that an esoteric view cannot be used that comes from a man.
