In this Christmas episode, we talk about Jesus and how our “relationship” and views on him have evolved during our faith deconstruction. We touch on the mythological aspects of Jesus, what it means to be a disciple, and at what point clinging to Jesus could actually prevent us from moving forward on a spiritual path. We ponder Jesus' roles as a guru, a crutch, a friend, a king, a Buddhist. Dave also brings up whether devotion to a guru/savior indicates an inherent desire for a physical representation of “God."
