They knew God. They shape you

Jesus

son of an unwed mother
arrogant
resorted to God trampling on religious authority
lost to conspiracy
lost life on cross
rest all crap

*****

Nanak

an uneducated villager
bard, farmer, family man
wandering lust
awed by nature
sang songs of God

******

Krishna

lover of women, warrior,
statesman, advisor, schemer
success went to his head
portrayed himself as God

******

Buddha

the unhappy prince, unambitious
low on libido, philosophical
happiness in simplicity, not in extremes
God, what God?

******

Taoism, Zen

live in now
listen to nature
be responsible
God, what God?
