Cheesus: Jesus-lite

I went to a Charismatic Catholic retreat one time. I think it was the beginning of the end for me. I had always kept my distance in the Church, adhering to the rules, admiring the way Jesus shook up a corrupt establishment, and reading the Gospels for insight, but deep down knowing I didn't believe the God as man line. The retreat focused on a very huggy squeezey best bud Jesus who really never existed in my mind. It kind of shocked me that people BELIEVE™ rather than adhere.
