why jesus and not god

yeah, the old testament is a better read than the new testament, but god as a role model doesn't work. he's too unhuman-like. what can i learn from a character like that? so, with jesus we have a human character to learn from. that's something we can reach for. there are other great role models in the OT. Moses, David, Elijah, Solomon. Esther, Judith, Ruth. we're all free to choose. i chose jesus because of his radical re-interpretation of judaism.
