I grew up in a pastor's home. For the past few years I have thoroughly tried to run away from any notion of Jesus. Yet, here I am asking what you all think of him.
For me Jesus stands for all that is beautiful in human nature: rebellion, humility, strength, courage, love, poetry, story-telling. His approach to life was so similar to many teachings of the east. Taoism actually brought me back to the messages of Jesus. So, without getting into a dismall discussion about the validity of him being the messiah, or another da vinci code dialogue, just write who you think was and what he stands for...please.
