Religion's Influence

This blog post discusses how most people believe that Jesus was both God and a man, but that we still imagine him with an "ever-present halo above his head." This means that he was free from mundane troubles such as diarrhea, as mentioned in the blog. Moore believes that Jesus had all of the troubles that humans face during their lifetimes but that those were forgotten over time in order to support his high position as God. However, it was because of these issues that Jesus was able to gain so many followers. He was able to connect with them through mutual understanding of the dirty situations they had to go through as human beings.
(Moore, My Take: Jesus was a dirty, dirty God)
