So you're trying to refute the notion that God in the bible is a bastard by a quote from Jefferson that if you take all the God out of the bible you're left with a nice piece of moral philosophy?
Grats, I guess.

My basic orientation is Christian. It really doesnt matter what orientation you end up with. Pick a Spiritual path and try it out. Maybe you will end up at Jesus Campor maybe you will end up somewhere else. Eventually you will die and will not matter which path you chose.

Jesus is an idea.
It doesn't really matter who knew him, or when anything was written. What matters is what you take away from it.
If you find inspiration in the bible, or at church, then stick with it. If not then move on to something else.

It is a book that has been re-written and re-interpreted hundreds of times sometimes by some of the most power hungry and evil regimes throughout history

I can agree with this.
The problem is that most churches require that they do more than just inspire you in order for you to consider yourself among their flock.

That seems true of anything.
People choose to try out ideas based on emotion. Rational people discard unsupported ideas sooner or later though.

Says the guy that rejected God out of a misunderstanding of theology.
That is fine IMO, you are hardly the only person to ever do that but in the end you are just trying to apply a logical justification to something to did based on emotion and intuition.
