Dustin,

No one seems bothered by Jesus, when he's viewed as a nice hippy who could also do miracles - in other words - "Jesus who doesn't bug me". When asked about Jesus' claims as the only way to God, the discussions about heaven, coming back from the dead, folks aren't as jazzed - and would state that those were parts of the gospels that were added later by his followers to gain power over other religions.

The Jesus who tells people to give everything to the poor and follow him, that I cannot say a mean word to my brother without it counting as murder, that lust equals murder - he bugs me. However, that Jesus is also the one who offers life, who is transformative to me personally, and to my family.
