chimp.. no. Sans my obedience to God's word, the morality and example of Jesus would still mean that I am obeying His instructions, even if the person is no longer the reason I'm obeying them. ie. I don't intentionally obey my suicidal friends crazy life advice, because he's literally insane, but sometimes he has a nugget or two of advice that's helpful. Like all archetypal hero worship, we utilize from the good and be wary of the bad.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
