Personally, I am far less concerned with what particular metaphysical beliefs people have as how they act on those beliefs! There are lots of people that I share a lot of common beliefs, but whom I wouldn't want to hang out with.
Now when it comes to finding the real Jesus and what his real words are, you have a big problem that you apparently aren't even aware of yet. And that is the record of Biblical scriptural texts have been altered and varied through generations of copyist errors, additions, omissions -- deliberate and accidental. This occurred because, prior to the Guttenberg press, books had to be copied by hand. Some of the errors are as simple as scribes adding margin notes from previous scribes to the body of the text. This is one of the more common copyist errors noted by Bart Ehrman in his surprisingly popular book on Biblical textual scholarship:
"Misquoting Jesus."
Ehrman's book covers topics that have been known by theologians and textual scholars for decades, but are only discussed and written usually within the realm of academia, and certainly never mentioned in popular religion books intended for the general audience.
The big problem for Christians who want their religion based solely on the written word, is that there are no original Bible manuscripts in existence today. The earliest fragments of New Testament verses , like P52, only go back to the middle of 2nd century CE. -- about the year 150. P46 - the oldest collection of Pauline letters, is dated around the year 200 CE.
Some important additions to the Bible that are not included in earlier manuscripts include the story of Jesus Forgiving the Adulteress and stopping the mob from stoning her in John ch.8. This story played a pivotal role in the development of Christian ethics and philosophy, but it was likely added to the original Gospel of John to serve as further repudiation of the Mosaic Law, rather than its later interpretation as a basis for salvation. Seriously, if Jesus had wayed in and stopped the mob from carrying out the Biblical mandated punishment for adultery demanded in the Law, he would have been dragged off before the Sanhedrin there and then!
Other verses that even most fundamentalists now have given up on, include 1 John 5:7, used as the basis for the doctrine of the Trinity, which can't be traced to any early Greek manuscripts before the writing of the Latin Vulgate.
And then we have the entire ending of the Gospel of Mark after 16 v.8. None of this "speaking in tongues" and snake handling appears in the Greek manuscripts of Mark. The Gospel of Mark is so sparse, compared to Matthew and Luke, which used the chronology of events of Mark, and embellished their accounts with sayings and miracles, that someone didn't like the abrupt ending of ch.16 and decided to add v. 9 through 20 to give the book a better conclusion.
