Similarly, they make Jesus superhuman, elevating him to the plane of God, at which distance he cannot make demands. For now he is not human, so cannot expect us to be like him, or even to want to be like him. You see, we are only human and he, after all, is God. Such a Jesus can at most only expect our worship and praise.
I tell you, the only thing the "Christian" Jesus has in common with the real one is a name. No one can deny the colossal effect the "Christian" Jesus has had on this world: it is just so horrible to contemplate!
Imagine this: An immortal called Jesus takes a short excursion from his paradise in the heavens to visit earth. To the inhabitants he says: "I am God, and you are merely human and mortal. I am the Almighty, and you - are not. You can never be as I. Nevertheless, I see fit to bless you with my presence, which is a great inconvenience to me as I much prefer the comforts of heaven. I come to this earth to show you my incredible power, and to give warning that you had better do my bidding - or else!"
