Apparently you can also get sick from working too hard in righteous spiritual battle:

For he risked his life for the work of Christ, and he was at the point of death while trying to do for me the things you couldn’t do because you were far away.(Philippians 2:30 NLT).

I've sometimes thought that all this preaching I do will be the death of me.

Without trying to offend religious people
I think Muhammad, Jesus, Moses
They all saw flaws in society and attempted to correct them.
There's many cult leaders that aim to do the same thing, move society in a "better" way through fear of the unknown (afterlife) and a powerful being that supposedly chooses how we spend our afterlife
I think of Jesus as an "influencer" of the past. Someone who got lucky, gained quite a few followers and someone made a book about him.
I respect the Christian faith, as a lot of its teachings can be applied to a modern "don't be an ass" view

I was in a store not too long ago and they were playing CCM music. The whole concept of Jesus and Christianity has always been weird to me, I've read that people on the spectrum tend be atheists or agnostic more so than NT's. For me, I know find religion silly.

The movie Elmer Gantry pretty well sums it up.

In my Animal Crossing NH I once dressed my male villager up as Jesus (I have a boy and a girl villager in the game and I play as them both) and used the ocean flooring I made to make it look like he was walking on water and took a photo. And then at Christmas I dressed him as Jesus again and took a photo of him being happy as he looks at his birthday cake. I thought they were pretty funny pictures, but I never uploaded them on Facebook with my other AC screenshots because I worried some people might be offended. Or they might think I'm really religious, which would be even worse. I just made the pictures for my own amusement, really. :)
