Perhaps the central point is those who claim Jesus is on their side, or would be were he living on earth today, do so gratuitously. I would agree with that. Jesus, at a minimum, was a revolutionary genius. At most, he was God. Either way, how can mere humans claim to having somebody on their side who they cannot fully comprehend? Even his own apostles did not understand him much of the time.
If he existed, he certainly was a maleable fellow, since Christians on both sides of many major issues these days claim, with astonishing certainty, that he would without question be on their side.
