The use of Christ v the flawed bibe is a simple mental trick to keep the charade of belief going. Modern sensibilities are opposed to slavery and xians like tec are influenced by the prevailing opinion. Unfortunately the bible cannot be updated and is stuck as a product of a different age, an age where incredible detail over priests clothing, exact foods to be eaten and rules for social conduct were meticulously laid out. That most of the inviolate 'laws' of that book are ignored by xians and are instead replaced by new ones plucked from the air is telling. Christ , being utterly undefined by the bible (don't agree with his portrayal in a story - ignore story as flawed) becomes the perfect foible for the continued recreatio of God in man's image. Listening to xians claiming Christ is this or that and then rehearsing their own moral opinion but then applying mendacious humility ( I learnt this through Christ) is amazing to see. The obvious link between their own imagination and this iconic super hero is audacious yet tragic.
The bible is not opposed to slavery nor are any of its principle characters , though a good case could be made for Lucifer/Promethius.
Christ , being a 100%, mental construct can stand for whatever the devotee wants, he can support any nuance of any word and can supply invisible authority to those whose arguments cannot stand alone. Christ has supported crusades, the subjugation of women, torture, eternal punishment, war, peace, gays, homophobia, free love, sexual purity, environmentalism and Republicanism. Christ is everyman and is the best invisible friend since he always agrees with you, you have the authentic Christ even though billions of others have tried , and failed, to get the exact message that was saved for you, you dear xian are the chosen one.
I am appalled how this poorly constructed, ephemoral meme of Christ robs people of authentic moral courage. We are far better , mankind is far more magnificenct than any fig hating pig murdering slave condoning patriarchal character in a book of immoral fables.
