I'm saying Jesus represented a counterculture which is necessarily at odds with any dominant, compromised culture, including Christendom. Jesus spoke for God's kingdom, not for any ruled by people who necessarily would have had only the fallen angels at their back (from the Jewish mythic perspective which Jesus assumed).

I have an upcoming article comparing cults to cultures, which goes into this further. Jesus was at home in a cult, not in a culture, because cultures are necessarily compromised due to the political exigencies of managing a large population.
