Reza Aslan talks about the historical Jesus

A really interesting interview of Reza Aslan on The Daily Show:

I thought Jon Oliver’s comments were really insightful:

“I like this man. I liked the guy who was the day laborer, who was probably illiterate who was a radical nationalist. I like this guy. I like him a whole lot me than the bird statue.

It seems sacrilegious but it’s also it’s kind of great.'” – Jon Oliver

I wonder if in focusing so much on the divinity of God, we’ve lost the humanity that reaches out to so many people.
