My own personal Jesus Christ"

From first Matrix movie. Someone would say it if they are grateful for something like. YES! Great job! or something like that!

Depends on my mood at the time, really. I could either own that shit or completely ignore it. I'm a one end of the spectrum or the exact opposite type of person.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I would say, "My, that's a random thought."

The question is whether it become a authority issue. Take YouTube website, its an alright site. But the amount of cult followers of... people who follow narcissists is scary.
Other than that for a movie it sounds cool atleast.

Hero worship can be a bad thing.  The act itself makes me uncomfortable and the feeling that I have to be "on" all the time wears me out.

Okay, story time.  I used to do a lot of sports talk online.  I made friends and began to meet them on game day at the stadium for tailgate parties.  Meanwhile, I had gained notoriety on the site for being funny, smacking opposing fans, and saying things fellow fans enjoyed.  

One game, I couldn't spend much time at the tailgate because my kids were with me.  I would have skipped altogether, but our team was playing Auburn, and some of the Auburn fans had been invited to our tailgate.  I liked those guys and wanted to meet them.  So, the kids and I walked through and spent a few minutes shaking hands and talking with football fans in various stages of sobriety.

As we were leaving, I heard, "So that's Ranjr?"  "Yeah, that's him."  I turned to see a man drop to his knees and begin praising, up and down.  He lived in Flower Mound, Texas and couldn't attend very often.  It was funny, and we all laughed.

But then, Josh, a 6' 5" 280 lbs former player who was deep into the Jack Daniels began to dry hump the man from Flower Mound.  Josh made circles with his right hand, as if holding a cowboy hat, while slapping Flower Mound's ass back and forth with his left.  "Time to go, kids."

So to answer your question fully, I'd rather just shake hands and have a fun chat.  For the sake of the children.

Lin Chi had some interesting advice for people who worshipped saviors.  If you meet the buddha on the road, kill him.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
