Jesus as a Greek Cynic

[dingdao]

"We are left with a situation where either Jesus, accepted as the Son of God, creator of the Cosmos and Man, becomes so enamored with Cynicism that he adopts it, or of Jesus, a man of flesh and bone, lacking divinity, yet becomming the most successful preacher and theologian in the history of man, with half the world's population following him in some note or fashion, asserting many ideas and principles central to Cynicism. Either way you cut it, it's deeply impressive." Onasander

Well the Christian (version of) Jesus actually fits into both the Greek (philosopher) and Buddhist skins very well when not interpreted as a deity.
