i knew the bible talked about him. his life, death, subsequent people tried to carry on his work (doing a good or bad job of it, but trying i guess).
I see his attributes in other places too
two places are ...
mother holding a baby - making eye contact.
a father who is so tender and patient with his little boy
You may slap that Jesus-label onto anything, but that only dilutes its meaning. Sooner or later you get to "god is love" ... but I know love without believing in your mess of a deity. I have been that father you romanticize. No gods required.
