It's much better when you take out the whole divine thing and just look at what he was saying.
If the dark age schmucks had been listening to him when he said religion should never, ever have a place in government, or be used to govern people (basically that the church should never become an institution), they'd have saved the Western world a shitload of historical embarrassment.
The fact that people literally believe him to be the son of God most likely didn't come from his mouth, but those who followed him; he said everyone was a son/daughter of god, divine, etc., and those who didn't know it were lost - heaven was on earth for those who knew they were already divine. Never really said anything about "getting saved" so you wont' "go to hell." That's all retarded interpretation based on Old Testament mythos.

...not that I'm a Christian (tried that cult out for two years, crashed, burned), but Jesus was definitely the man, and ahead of his time in that particular part of the world.
Perhaps he made a visit to India in that huge span of undocumented life...
Who knows?
