I figure in the same way that anyone else might.
This is the character who starts his career by knocking heads in a temple because he thinks that they're worshiping wrong. Who told the jews that they belonged to their father, the devil, and wanted to bring about his desires. Who claimed that anyone who didn't hate his family and this life could't be a disciple. Who asserted that the members of other tribes are subhumans. Who claims that his is the only way to the father, all else being damned. Who deferred to rome, and who ultimately proposed the death of the better man as a sacrifice for our innumerable sins.
This was no good man. This was not a man with a big welcoming tent. These are things that would get you or I on a list of hatemongers, committed to an institution, in prison - or all of the above. If The Real Jesus™ were alive today, he'd be an insurgent, not a social worker.
