As I wander from table to table here at the Cafe', I find Christians declaring various levels of belief regarding Jesus.  At one end of the pole  there is a  "Jesus as myth and metaphor" group, while at the other end, there is a "Jesus is the divine son of God and the only way to salvation" group.  Between those two poles there is an amazing array of diverse beliefs.  This is understandable, given that we all approach God in different ways and are at various points in our journey.
