Deepak Chopra Invents His Own Jesus

http://www.standfirminfaith.com/index.php/site/article/10289/

[Stand Firm] 22 Feb 2008--I read this article three times, looking carefully for the words "...and in the process of becoming an Episcopal priest," but amazingly they're not there. Still, he sounds like he could skip straight over priest... heck, straight over bishop... and right into PB-hood:

In his book "The Third Jesus," published this week, Chopra says there is a "sketchy historical figure," a second "abstract theological creation" and a third Jesus with the highest level of enlightenment -- what Chopra calls God-consciousness....

Chopra said the Jesus created by the Catholic Church was confusing because although the religion had done a lot of good in the world, it had also taken part "in the Crusades, in witch hunts, in burning people on the stake, homophobia, depriving women of their rights, all kinds of things."
