I disagree that you can simply call Jesus a teacher, a great moral leader, whatever. Jesus claimed something that the buddha never claimed; he claimed to be able to forgive sin. If anyone is familiar with apologetics, C.S. Lewis points out that since Jesus said things like this: (here you go faith) "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father but through me", Jesus can be one of only three things. He could be lying, he could be crazy, or he could be who he claimed: the son of god.
I don't pretend to know or insinuate anything, and I'm not sure how relevant this is to the thread. I'm just saying-saying Jesus was a great moral teacher, only, is ignorant.
