we idolize people (real or fictional) for the ideals they represent. while jesus might be said to represent the best of humanity, idolizing a political animal like brak only shows how gullible the public really is and just how far we are willing to sink to satisfy our need to feel superior in our false compassion. the mythology built up around jesus encompasses love and sacrifice, those better instincts that we all possess. the cult of personality surrounding brak has more to do with our desire to find a scapegoat at whose feet we may lay the blame for our own failings.
