Got this in an email, thought it was interesting.

Everytime I read something from the Old Testament about God I get this feeling that it's really about a real living king.
All evidence just seems to point in that direction, so you must wonder if the stories are nothing more than an exaggeration of an actual being.

I think if you try hard enough though & bend the lies enough you can meld all deities to seem like they are the same.

Well that is sort of ment to be the official story of Jesus in the New Testament. He was just a man, a king who wanted to set up his lineage and take thrown as the 'King' of the Jews. When he died (if you believe he did die) the stories that circulated made no reference to him being a God until Constantine sat down and had to make a religion for the whole of Rome to stop the wars between the Pagans and the Christians. He merged the two and made Jesus Holy so the pagans couldn't criticise Jesus being just a man. This then ment he couldn't of been married or have any reference to sex so he could be a standalone God and not the starter of a lineage that would mean the Catholic church had no right to claim the only way to heaven was from them.
