	In response to post #8040. >Presumably, almost every person here was born and raised in Europe or the Americas, but they didn't do the reading on history or theology, so they have this image of a "common", sentimental Christianity as opposed to a Gnostic-Buddhist Christ. It's bias against familiarity. Apparently this is unclear so I'll reword it. The average Western atheist, should they even view Christ as a historical person, tend to believe that he's a sort of proto-hippie socialist or whatnot (thus "Gnostic-Buddhist Christ") that for whatever reason Paul or the Church decided to rewrite as a Messiah, supposedly out of some vague hope that the Romans wouldn't just persecute them more heavily. All of this is ridiculous and any person who reads the writings of the early Christians closely should know that the traditional Catholic/Orthodox portrayal of Christ is the true one, going back to the beginning of the Apostolic period.

	In response to post #8040. It makes sense to vote based off of what the majority of what a religion has thought and said rather then a small minority. Gnosticism has been unpopular throughout most of christian history, therefor, it should be given less consideration when typing christianity as a whole. It is a near universally acknowledged fact that at least 75% of all religio us beliefs are suppression; it's only disputed which ones (if any) teach "true theology." Trying to find the "real" part of a religion, removed from cultural and historical context, is a fools game, because no such real "beating heart" of a ideology exists outside of a set of ideas grouped together through said historical and cultural context. “Ideologies have no heart of their own. They're the whores and angels of our striving selves.”

	Oh wait that's right I saved it. Nah, the votes here are bullshit. Presumably, almost every person here was born and raised in Europe or the Americas, but they didn't do the reading on history or theology, so they have this image of a "common", sentimental Christianity as opposed to a Gnostic-Buddhist Christ. It's bias against familiarity. Hinduism is a mess of a religion, being made up more of a composite of regional gods and superstitions than any true theology. The average Hindu doesn't care about Advaita or Bhakti, they're making their sacrifices and saying their prayers for wealth or to avoid curses.

	In response to post #8029. Sx also emphasizes personal connection. An So would most likely emphasize a connection to the entirety of a group, while Sx is most likly to emphaize a more intense connection with individuals. It really most likely depends on what time period and/or denomination of Christianity were talking about. Are we talking about the modern, evangelical, "personal relationship with Jesus" type of prostatism or more something like the Catholic Church in the 1300s. I'm going to change my vote to So/Sx,, because this designed to cover the entirety of christianity throughout history, but it's not so cut and dry.

	I agree with Zeego on this. Jesus Christ would be promptly excommunicated from most organized "CHRISTIAN CHURCH" congregations. It is unfortunate that these churches glorify his crucifixion instead of inculcating watchfulness against overreach of authorities and refutation of mob rule. I'm basing my votes here on my favorite inspirational teachings of Jesus.
