    It wasn't that bad. She said she was 12 or 13 before she saw a black person.

    I thought what Pun was getting at -- if I can presume to intercede -- was that you can't really know what Jesus was like because we have so little information about him, as evidenced by the fact that we don't even know what he looks like. Am I following?

    That wouldn't ring true among Christians, who claim to have a personal relationship with God. That makes MadMax's simile appropriate. We know a lot about who MadMax is even though we don't know what he looks like or what his real name is. And, it doesn't matter if Max has blond hair or brown.

    Anyway, on CS Lewis' options, I would guess somewhere between mediocre moral teacher and lunatic. I think 'lunatic' is way too strong a word. You only have to be a little screwy to run around claiming to be the Messiah. And, it isn't like nothing he had to say about morality and his society had any validity. There was some truth there. But, you can't call him great either if he says he's God if he is not.

    Jesus Christ was a beautiful, compassionate man whose love literally changed the world.
