I'd prefer at least a bush. I'm a farmer myself, I don't show up to market with a sign that says "tomatos" and a bushel full of seeds. It does indeed deal with christ, albeit breifly, and the manner in which it deals with christ is why (or at least one of the reasons) it got the axe. It seemed to suggest a competing christology than that which the church was running with - and that was and still remains far more important than any quote mining that you or I may do in the here and now.
Howsabout you google this stuff before you comment? You might find that I'm a far less rude person when I don't have to constantly supply this information to you. Even when I know something like the back of my hand - I still google it and fact check my recollection. It helps. On the count of what does or does not relate to some "life of jesus" good luck with that - you'll probably have to face down some glaring issues with that notion in the course of your research.
If I knew about this, If I knew about that. I do, douche. Now demonstrate that -you do-. I absolutely love these little stories (and not just the christian ones, by far the poorest of the bunch) -as narratives-. I'm simply of the opinion that as guidebooks for life, morality, etc, they're useless (and often worse than useless, counterproductive at best - destructive at worst). You don't actually come to a position like that without having...you know....read the stories, dug up the history.
