I usually just said Jesus was a good man, which i believe. I believe he
was a man, and a good man. and he was just turned into this GOD like
stature or "Son of God" by the people around him. *shrug*  I have had
patients ask me similar type questions and I usually try to get an
answer that wouldn't upset them and still try to be honest to myself. I
don't turn my beliefs around because patients asked me those
questions... IF that were the case, I'd be hard core christian, jewish
AND Jahova's witness ;) hahahahah.  


I am also with mike on the issue of people using their religion to get
ahead. You see that with Politics a lot.  I think we need a Jewish woman
President! She'll guilt american into getting itself back into shape ;)
hahaha. (I know, bad joke! I thought it was kind of funny...)
