I'm still down with Jesus. I like to think of him mostly as a social revolutionary who mixed with bad crowds and hated the rich.

I'm sure that Jesus was an incredible person.

I'm not really a churchy person, although I do think Jesus was a good bloke.

As a Jew reading about Jesus, I thought, 'He's a pretty good guy.' It's the same conclusion Monty Python drew in 'Life of Brian' - if people actually live what he did, it would be a pretty good world. But Jesus and Christianity have a tenuous relationship at best.

Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians - you are not like him.

I love Jesus.

Jesus was a human being, bound by history and the natural world; an extraordinary man, to be sure, but still a man.

When people say, you know, 'Good teacher,' 'Prophet,' 'Really nice guy'... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.

Jesus was nothing like I thought - He wasn't condemning. He was loving and leading.

Everyone thinks they know Jesus because they've got a personal relationship with him.
