i think there's a lot of depth to C. S. Lewis' famous reference to Christianity as the "one true myth." to nonbelievers and atheists, the Christian religion is put on the same par as any other; including those that we know as tall tales and legends. a more covert implication is the feelings of some Christians to Christ himself. due to dramatic representations of His image and the sometimes casual attitude towards His Name, it's easy for us to lose the realness of who Jesus was and is (and is to come, of course). it's odd that pretty much any depiction of Jesus shows Him in a perfectly clean white robe with a red sash, even though we know His real status was just about at the lowest caste. and i don't even think its a far shot to say that E-40 was right by saying Jesus had dreads considering all the hot desert air, dust, and the fact that Jesus probably didn't have TreSemme waiting by the Jordan. we sometimes need to give ourselves a quite literal reality check to remember that not only is the Bible truth, the Bible is fact (considering, of course, it isn't always literal). Jesus is real, the Bible is real, and God's Truth is fact; more real than we know.

Another one from Lewis: "I need Christ, not something that resembles Him."
Good stuff, Joel!
