I hope you don't mind if i add my two cents here...
No, I don't mind at all. I don't think I've had the pleasure of conversing with you either, Akragon.
I am of the same opinion as you are concerning the gods of the OT. I think that Jesus may have actually tried to live up to the expectations of the OT "god", at some point in his life, and abandoned the idea in later life, because of the impossibility of living under that one's rules.
The later Zechariah is a madhouse of ambivalence: "I'm going to protect you! No, not really, I'm going to kill you, no, I'll protect you after all, no, just kidding, you're dead meat!" And this to his so called "chosen".
That is possible, though i tend to believe that in his travels he learned how to love and respect all life...
Have you read St. Issa?
