People always say, WWJD or, that is to say, What Would Jesus Do?
They, however, are horrified when you point out that being like Jesus is much different than they would have you believe.
-) Long hair, or short? Long! Sampson was commanded to, Jesus is always pictured with long.
-) Drinking? Yes! He turned water to wine in Cana, & it was the BEST wine they ever had.
-) Pants, or ladies skirts? Skirts! Jesus wore a seamless robe, which is very like how modern women's dresses cover you.
Many others, these are but a few examples. Still want to be just like Jesus?
P.S. Imagine if we worshiped ourselves, following the example God does. Horrors! That's pride, baby! And you know pride goes before destruction.... *smiles*

And have my father make plans for me to be nailed to a cross? Poor Jesus was a victim of child abuse but we're not allowed to admit it. If any mortal person did that to his son, he would be in jail.

Jesus does not look at the outward appearance, but at the heart. I wish everyone would be as loving and accepting as Jesus was-- especially of the outcasts of society. The religious establishment hated him, but the common people admired Him and many followed him.

You could have come up with some better examples, like the fact that Jesus was poor and basically homeless.

We can't be like Jesus Christ because He was and is perfect and sinless, we are not. It does say in the Bible to be more Christlike.

the 3rd level of the buddist is to walk the path, and influence others on his journey.
Jesus did this.
and yes, I still aspire to sell off my belongings and become one of those bums who wants to talk about christ with anyone that will listen.
Jesus wants us all to be like him.

Has anyone ever told you that you talk on and on all while making very little sense or points?

NO, i am happy the way i am, those who wish to be like 'jesus' could have narcisstic traits.
