Indeed. Taken individually, some statements attributed to "Jesus," the literary figure, make more moral sense irrespective of his sanity, and other things do not. "Love thy neighbor as thyself" versus the thoughtcrime of committing adultery "in his heart," say. If you make it an all-or-nothing proposition, either everything he said was moral because he was God or nothing was because he wasn't God, defining goodness as Godness, then maybe it stands up.Quoting Qrazy (view post)
Reminds me of the Jefferson Bible, which still has Old Testament references but in which TJ tried to excise the supernatural from the Gospels. It's actually titled "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth," incidentally.
