Jesus overturned the corrupt system of his time, and we replaced it with a new corrupt system, with his name on it. No matter how many Jesus' show up to correct things, they turn sour again. If Jesus showed up today, he would smash "Christianity" and replace it with something new - and then this new thing would be twisted and exploited in just the same way.

Read what you want to read, don't let anybody tell you how to understand it, and don't call yourself anything. Joining special clubs won't benefit you in any way other than the completely selfish, superficial, and worldly way that the plumber with a fish on his van hopes to get more business.
