Day 15 - A letter to someone I would like to meet

It's been a while!!! So...here goes...

Dear Jesus

So, assuming you're even real...wow. Nice to get a chance to meet with you. I should say beforehand that you make it BIG here in the future! A lot of people are your fans...I, however, am not one. The history of the movement you've started is really quite amazing. Not only have you built nations, but your religion was singlehandedly used as justification for some of the most amazing feats of colonization and atrocious genocides in the history of our species. I just thought you should know.

The real reason I want to meet you, however, has nothing to do with the future of the beast you have created. Your name is one of the most used and abused in the world today. I want to humanize you. To see the man, if such a man even exists, behind the myth. I want to know what you think--what ANY human would think--when you realize the effects your actions had on the future. Not that I hold any ill will toward you. Were you a madman? A fool? Deluded? A liar? What's so special about you that caused YOU to make it and nobody else?

Anyway, Jesus...good luck? I don't know. Maybe you could teach science rather than sky monsters.
