Okay, but it does say those things. Bingo admitted he rather liked the teachings of Jesus, and is rather fond of the guy (as am I).

I'd truly like to be too, but the evidence is still pretty scant that he even existed, outside of mythologically.

Well yeah, if he was real, most of what was recorded about him would be extremely exaggerated.

I personally think he is completely fictional, and even if he wasn't, he might as well be since he'd be so far removed from the Jesus we read about.

But I feel like the character of Jesus in the Bible is a total badass. I actually really like the story of the gospels through and through. The narrative of men waiting for a savior to lead them in rebellion against the Romans and to restore their once great kingdom, following this guy around and listening to him preach about peace but hardly listening as evidenced by the swords and daggers they carried with them (ever ready to fight and die beside him), then giving up and going back to their lives with dashed dreams of glory after he was executed, only to see him resurrected a few days later and to finally come to the realization about what he had been trying to tell them... Very good stuff!
