Subject: RE: BS: Jesus as mythic god like Zeus
Anyway, there are always a small number of enlightened beings in the world at any given time. Most of them remain unknown to the vast majority of humanity. Some end up teaching a small group of students. Some end up becoming known merely on a local or regional basis. Some live very quiet lives, and are recognized for what they are by almost no one. Only very occasionally does one end up being the founder of a great religion.

And in that case...he will be ignored, vilified, or in some way attacked by various soreheaded people who are opposed to that religion...or simply...to all religions.

That is the human comedy in all its tawdry display of narrowmindedness.

There are a great many Christs, because a Christ is simply one particular person who has managed to bring forth the highest human potential within him/herself.
