Have you met Jesus? If not, you may have totally the wrong idea about who he is.
Let's say Jesus is a zebra. He's wild, one-of-a-kind, spectacular, untamable.
But not everybody will tell you that. The Republicans have one kind of Jesus, the Presbyterians have another kind, the preacher on the corner has a third. Everybody has their own pet Jesus.
This is like some people trotting around on their Clydesdales or their Shetland ponies or their plain old donkeys and claiming those are Jesus. That's right; some people make it seem like Jesus is an ass.
All these have some things in common with the real Jesus. But none of them is actually the real Jesus.
And so I think you owe it to yourself (and the zebra) to meet the real Jesus. If you still don't like him after that, well, at least you know what you're missing out on. And you can tell the ass-supporters where they've gone wrong.
Just don't let anyone else try to pass off their donkey as the real zebra. Not when it's so easy to know better.
