What do people think about the message of this song versus that of Reality Asylum? This seems to be presenting Jesus in a positive light, as a character with good ideas that were turned back on themselves, corrupted into something they were never meant to be. Reality Asylum exposes Jesus as a sexist, self-righteous bastard who got what he deserved. Personally, I have to assume that Reality Asylum was, apparently, not an attack on Jesus per se but on Christians and their interpretations of his teachings.

In Reality Asylum, Jesus is a metaphor for all religion.

And I'm not sure if this presents him as having positive ideas, if those ideas come "from the confusion of his soul."
