Christine, I would go along with much of your assessment of Jesus, but --- "probably well experienced with hallucinogens"?? (Ho, ho...) I would also challenge the view of Jesus as being "on the edge of reality". I know that is a fairly widepread view. But I think we tend to forget that what is considered "normal" today may not have been considered "normal" at other times and places. To take only one example: if someone has "visions" and hears "voices" in America today, we tend to assume he or she is having schizophrenic delusions. At other times & places, the visionary was revered as a prophet. And at still others, it was normal for just about everyone to have visions (or to say they had them). Joan
