I hate to do this.. But it's just my thoughts on the subject and a direct retort to your direct statement "An idea what to what Christ may actually be".
A fictional character in a story book that has been taken too seriously for too long.

Yes someone put a gun to my head.. That's exactly what happened..
And I stated that I hate to do it because there's always the religious zealot *cough* who likes to fire back that God is everywhere and in all things and vice versa.. Once again I'll say this.. Prove it... Show me.. Show me God.. Show me this all knowning being.. Tell me why if such a being exsists who loves us all, all his children, then why are there children starving in the streets.. A child has not "sinned" or done wrong by anyone in the world, they're as innocent as they come.. So where is your "god" there?.. And do not even tell me that's the work of the "Devil" either.. Cause that's a crock too.
Sorry I know this post is a little off topic however I am just replying to the post directly.

But seriously..
Here's my own thoughts on "god" or "jesus" or the bible..
I personally think that it was originally set as a story... a good clean story about hope and life.. Think about that..Way back when, people needed to tell stories, they didn't have the technology and happenings that we have today so they had to come up with something.. And for all time we've been wondering as a whole where "we" came from, this is just a story for that.. A theory on the beginning of "time" and people as whole.
When the church took it under it's wing it used it as a form of control and fear. Believe in the lord or the bad men will get you.. Sounds like somethings children are told to keep them in line if you ask me..
I think and it's my OPINION that Jesus, God and such are just old stories, added to over the years with different "revalations" and passages added as the story grew.. Once the story was taken by the church it was given a whole new meaning.. And was perverted there in to what it is today..
Again.. just my thoughts.. my opinion.. I'm not knocking anyone for their beliefs or calling anyone any names.. Simply stating what I believe...
Thanks..
