"a truly enlightened man", IMO Jesus was that man (and more) - but I know what response that will get here.

The point is not that a great leader come forward but that we choose to follow and imitate the greatest goodness, wisdom, kindness, self-control and love that we encounter.

I'm fairly sure that if Jesus Christ would walk the earth today that he would not be one to make it very high in the ranks of the various churches in his name.

I don't doubt your word that he was an enlightened man but for some reason those tend to get wielded out at a pretty early stage, they'd upset too many holy applecarts.

He wasn't exactly best friends with the sanhedrin (sp?, the powerful self-serving hypocritical religious leaders) in His day either; they turned him over to the Romans to be crucified after all. Upsetting holy applecarts was pretty much his thing ...
