I too am torn.

The evidence for his existance is less than convincing.

But I tend to think that Jesus was a David Koresh or Charles Manson charismatic type.

I have no evidence for this but that is what I think at present.

As always I am ready to be swayed by convincing arguments.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
