For me, Jesus is that person who for the first time in human history articulated the nature of man's infinity in God. He gave added emphasis to the place of man in religious concepts.

… and, or course Christ. I admit that last influence with difficulty, owing to my early "religious" training which made hi a god instead of a most human human. All I have gained from the general picture is a vision of the man Jesus, a man giving love, asking none in exchange. He also had charity, condemning no one if we except the money-changers, and there his reaction only showed how human he was. Sin to him appeared to be sickness; he apparently was conscious of man's unconscious two thousand years before Freud was born. He did no have to resist temptation because within himself he did not feel guilty.
