Saint Josaphat. Just like this God he is an extention of, his existance is highly questionable.
Saint Augustine. By his own admission lead a life of debauchery. Quote attributed to this model character --> ""Lord, make me chaste--but not yet.""
Pope Pius IX. Ok, not declared a saint, but was proposed for sainthood. For an indictment see John Cornwell's 1999 book Hitler's Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII. If he was proposed for sainthood by his peers then he must have been a wonderful guide and model character.
That was just off the top of my head. I'm sure with a bit of reasearch you could come up with a few more shining examples of model characters, extentions of God and guides of the christian religion.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
