    I think it is a mixed bag. The teaching about divorce messed up the lives of a lot of people. Then there was that time he told a guy to abandon his dying father to go preach with him. He called a gentile woman a dog. He said most people will be destroyed. Jesus as chronicled by Matthew seems fond of referring to everlasting fire.

    To be clear, I am not saying he didn’t say anything good. He said don’t be a hypocrite. He said help others and pay your taxes. He said feed the hungry and clothe the naked. But that doesn’t erase all the bad things the character of Jesus said.

    I do agree that Paul sucks balls though.
