Yes, yes, let's talk about Jesus. Personally, I think the guy was a total idiot. Imagine what kind of delusional state one would have to be in to think they were God, or the "son" of God or anything but a simple, regular human being? Having conversations with God, conversations with the Devil -- yeah, right, Jesus. If he were alive today and thought any of that stuff he'd be absolutely disfunctional, not to mention dangerous,
And talk about misleading people! To begin with, by posing as God, or the
Son of God, or whatever the hell he thought he was in his garbled grandiose daydream, he set up an entire people, his people, for serious persecution for eons just because they didn't buy into his stupidity. And for those who did, it wasn't a whole lot better. Jesus started a cult that was more oppresive than we can imagine if we just judge his legacy by the weakened Christian cult we're familiar with around us. But no thanks to him for any freedoms fought and won in the recent history of modern civilization. No thanks at all. Jesus encouraged faith over reason and it's taken us as a society two millenia to begin to realize what a dead-end mind fuck (Oh, did I say that?) that is and to get up the courage to call his bluff.
Rawat, Jesus, as far as I'm concerned they both suck big time. God forbid that this newer cult gets legs the way the older one did. But if it does who's to say that Rawat's image won't be cleaned up and polished just like the first guy's? Scandals disappear or morphed into miracles, personality foibles twisted and inverted or just plain forgotten? There'll always be true believers, people who just like to believe in bulls**t because it's fun to believe, who'll eat it up. At that point, given a choice, if I were alive I might even prefer the Rawat myth to the Jesus one. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
