why JC?

why jesus? He not only was a faithful follower of god, but he became god himself. that's the thing i'm looking at. since god is within us, and there is no god 'out there' -- that is spiritual atheism -- then the realization that we are each a god -- that is the key. jesus realized this -- although he didn't see others as god, only himself. however, at the time i don't think an idea like mine, that we are all gods, would have worked in the roman empire. To be sure, i have the greatest respect for judaism. i choose jc because he found it within himself to proclaim himself a god, even at the cost of his life. luckily we can claim ourselves as gods without that penalty.
