Right. He does cover a lot, and it is thought-provoking. What sticks out for me (after a night's sleep with whichcto forget most) is the notion of just how far the church has defined what it wanted its main message to be, distinctly and apart from what it may have originally been. The Jesus figure, if in actuality he existed historically(which Watts seems to accept as a given), certainly seems to have been radically redefined by church officials with political aims of their own. The idea that the original guru's message may have been essentially the same as the Buddha's is interesting to me, that we are, all of us, equally, "children of the divine." For this Heathen, of course, it is still a quaint notion of magical thinking, but still much more thoughtful than the heavy judgmental oppressive shit the church has peddled for two millenia.
