This reminds me of something very apropos from Ralph Waldo Emerson's journal. (And keep in mind that Emerson was a Christian minister.)

July 30, 1835: You affirm that the moral development contains all the intellectual and that Jesus was the perfect man. I bow in reverence unfeigned before the benign man. I know more, hope more, am more because he has lived. But if you tell me that in your opinion he has fulfilled all the conditions of man's existence, carried out to the utmost at least by implication, all man's powers, I suspend my assent. I do not see in him cheerfulness; I do not see in him the love of Natural Science; I see in him no kindness for Art; I see in him nothing of Socrates, of Laplace, of Shakespeare. The perfect man should remind us of all great men. Do you ask me if I would rather resemble Jesus than any other man? If I should say Yes, I should suspect myself of superstition.
