\u2022\u00a0Jesus was a Muslim\u00a0<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Jesus was a Mormon\u00a0<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Jesus was married and had children\u00a0<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

There must surely have been something not only mysterious but many-sided about Christ if so many smaller Christs can be carved out of him.
