clarification about Jesus christ:

To George shimanovich:

GS:"As for Christian redeemer, pointedly brought along by LH, he is better
left
along in role of a philosopher (per Bush 2000), as his prophetic prowess is
not so well defined. "

LH:I didn't bring JChrist along, I just answered James Studdard (he is the
one who brought him along) that VN never claimed he was a prophet; in my
post, no irony was directed at JChrist (a beautiful myth, as VN wrote but I
can't remember where -if one of the listers can locate this quote, I would
be grateful) My irony was directed at Khrushcheva, a nearly perfect
reincarnation of the eternal Mr Goodman.
