Religion and Spirituality: Opposing Views: Christianity: Jesus: Moral Failings

An investigation of the Christian gospels showing how Jesus teaches techniques of deception and self-deception.

An argument that Jesus' moral teachings are in large part irrelevant, indefensible, or not original to him. The otherworldliness, harshness, and insistence on unthinking obedience, and mean-spirited vindictiveness are not only unacceptable, but quite a long ways from the claim of "moral perfection." What's more, his silent approval of things like slavery make him an unjustified model of morality.

A criticism of the authenticity of Jesus, and on the quality of his moral teachings.
