A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn't be a great moral teacher. He'd be either a lunatic on a level with a man who says he's a poached egg or else he'd be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.

For what you have really done in your handling of the evidence for belief in God, is to set yourself up as God. You have made the reach of your intellect, the standard of what is possible or not possible. You have thereby virtually determined that you intend never to meet a fact that points to God. Facts, to be facts at all–facts, that is, with decent scientific and philosophic standing–must have your stamp instead of that of God upon them as their virtual creator.

Jim Jones or Marshall Applewhite of his day. Each had their followers. Suckers in every crowd.

By what standard are you using to make that assessment? Where does your epistemological framework come from?

Yes, Cornel West, a prominent philosopher, political activist, and public intellectual, often links activism to Christianity in his work. He draws upon Christian teachings, particularly those emphasizing social justice, compassion, and the liberation of the oppressed, to underscore the moral imperative of activism and social change.
West's Christian faith informs his critique of social injustices such as racism, poverty, and inequality. He argues that Christian principles should inspire believers to engage in activism and advocate for a more just and equitable society. West's perspective is rooted in the prophetic tradition of Christianity, which challenges individuals and societies to confront systemic injustices and work towards a more humane world.
In his writings and speeches, West frequently invokes figures from Christian theology and philosophy, such as Reinhold Niebuhr and Martin Luther King Jr., to illustrate the connection between faith and activism. He critiques what he sees as the hypocrisy of institutions that claim to adhere to Christian values while perpetuating or ignoring social injustices.
Overall, Cornel West's intellectual and activist work often explores the intersection of Christianity and social justice, encouraging believers to actively engage in the struggle for a better society guided by Christian ethical principles.
