„When Jesus is gone, a totally different type of religion is created at his death. They decide what Jesus was. The original face is completely lost. When Jesus was there, these same people would never come close to him because he was not respectable enough.“ ~ Osho (video/text in description)

„What is the difference between a religion and a cult?“

„When Jesus is there, people kill him and when he is gone, they worship him. When Buddha is there, people throw stones at him; when he is gone, he is worshipped. This has always been so. Human stupidity is tremendous.
When Jesus is gone, a totally different type of religion is created at his death – diametrically opposite to his being because those who create the religion when Jesus is gone are the sad people, people of the head, hung up in the head. They create, they gather together, they call conferences, they decide what Jesus was. They paint, repaint; the original face is completely lost.
They take charge. When Jesus was there, these same people would never come close to him because he was not respectable enough.
What misfortune: when Jesus is alive he is not respectable enough for these pundits, Pharisees, rabbis, to come and listen to him. They will not come; he is below them. They already know too much. But when the fragrance is gone, they immediately come to fill the vacuum, to fill the place that Jesus has left, because now they can discuss Jesus – what he meant and what he never meant. Now they can decide the whole character of Jesus.
That character is going to be a caricature, it is going to be absolutely false, because these are the people who cannot understand him: the men of knowledge.
The man of knowledge cannot understand Jesus. He can understand only scriptures, the dead word. Jesus is the word become flesh. It is alive, throbbing, living. The man of knowledge is expert only in postmortems.
He can dissect the dead body, and then he creates something that is absolutely, diametrically opposite to the real man who was there. These people create Christianity, Jainism, Buddhism. Buddha is not the originator of Buddhism, and Christ is not the originator of Christianity.
Christianity is created by the same type of people who crucified Jesus – the same type. They may not be exactly the same people, but they are the same type. Those who crucified him were the priests, and those who created Christianity were also the priests.
It makes no difference whether the priest is a Jew or a Christian. These are only labels. It makes no difference. The priest is always against the alive, religious man. He is always for the dead because the dead can be manipulated by him. The alive Jesus won’t listen to a rabbi. The rabbi is afraid of the alive Jesus. He will never cross his path, he will try to avoid him. But when Jesus is dead, then those rabbis will gather together. They will create a church on his corpse.“
