JESUS VS. JESUS CHRIST
From Keith Drury's post:

"I expect Jesus will become quite popular in the coming decades while Jesus Christ fades and is put on the back shelf (maybe even returned to inventory 'in case anyone asks'). I sense a rising bull market in Jesus' stock and a coming decline in the stock of Jesus Christ. In an increasingly pluralistic marketplace where toleration and acceptance are the primary virtues Jesus might sweep the deck. Jesus Christ will be a hard sell in the future in the world'?s bazaar of ideas. Jesus is going to outsell Jesus Christ in the coming decades.

"So, the question is this. Is this new packaging of Jesus real Christianity? Is it orthodox? Does it matter?

"Is a Christ-less Jesus just as good as Jesus Christ?"

I think that Drury has us pegged. And I think, too, that this is an indicator that the whole pop spirituality phenomena might be overstated. The Jesus myth that we're currently drawn to tends to be void of much spiritual content or mystery. He is still looking a lot like a hippie from the late 60's.
