The upsetting part of Elton John's comments for me is that he thought Jesus was just a highly intelligent man entreating us to love each other. We do need to love each other but we all know this is beyond us.

Jesus bore a message much more vital than a simple platitude for he was an is God. His message was that we need to sort out our relationship with God - love the Lord your God with all your heart and only then are we able to start taking on the board the second half of the message - to love our neighbour as ourselves.

Was Jesus sexually attracted to anyone? In the light of his vital message and the way he acted it out it is just immaterial.

Is Elton John the devil incarnate, of course not. He is just one of God's mixed up kids. God loves him a yearns for him to accept his redemption and heal his relationship with God. We should love him as well, Elton is out neighbour.

If we really want to know who Jesus is then we can have the best historical record of anyone before the age of the printed word in the Gospels, read them and decide for yourself.
