For every person who's complained about having Jesus shoved down their throats and thus feels the need to adopt a vendetta against Christianity as a whole, I can show you a Christian who's been cornered by someone who says the Bible contradicts itself all over the place and that they're blind for following a religion in the first place.
But whether Jesus was a real guy, or a nice guy, you have to admit his character has been a good influence on at least as many people as it's been a bad influence on.
I think we're ALL wrong, actually, including the human beings who wrote the Bible, because we're attempting to put words to something that defies human definition. Like Kahlil Gibran says, "Say not, 'I have found the path of the soul,' say rather, 'I have met the soul walking on my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths."
