Joseph Campbell said it best. "We need our myths". The pacifist myth of Jesus is a good one. The other guy that the Theocons produce is a fraud.

Nothing wrong about feeding the poor, caring for the less fortunate, and turning the other cheek instead of ginning up for NATO's new program for mass destruction. (Nuclear pre-emptive first strike to "protect" us. What bullshit!)

I think the Pacifist Jesus is the sane part of Christianity. I don't care if he existed or not.

I care more about what people "do" than what the profess to believe. Talk is cheap.
