He used to do teachings, where he quoted all the most beautiful stuff - and concluded: Jesus was a pacifist. Then he turned the table on his listeners with all the nasty stuff, Jesus is also quoted for - and concluded: Jesus was a brutal war maker like his Father.

After this he said it was possible to be a devoted Christian, without blindly swallowing what the preachers picked from their Bibles - and asked people to select their very own Jesus in the Bible.

A very fine guy - but he never made me believe in it though.
