The Bible has a lot more than enlightened sayings, Ezekiel is almost undeniably a UFO phenomenon. You can see the patterns it lays out repeat over and over in history no matter when or where you look. No one reads those parts bc they're kind of difficult though lol
My take on Jesus is more or less the take of both Nietszche and the Positive Christians of the 3rd Reich. He's best understood as a hero who died out of love for his friends and countrymen, and followed on that basis. The remarkable saints of Christendom are the heroes, not the community leaders who passively taught the slave morality of the Apostles and some of the more abused (likely interpolated) passages.
The propositions are the worst part about Christianity, it's much better lived than it is taught.
I wouldn't suggest Taoism as an analogue bc Taoism is primitivist and still tends to indulge in fantasy in an unhealthy way. The Bible tells us that the things we inherited from evils will be redeemed, not tossed away. Cities are founded on the murder of brethren, but paradise comes in the form of a Heavenly City.
Very different traditions! The East has its own set of problems.
