Seriously.. there's REALLY no mention that Eli is basically Jesus? After creating major backlash in India with their India-based episodes, the showrunners decided to be more careful, and changed the name of Jesus to Eli. The series never would have flown if they'd called him Jesus.

But it's PLAINLY obvious, considering that they touch on ALL mythology in the series, that this is the Christian Jesus Christ. Everything from his appearance, local, and philosphy point to this. -ClintJCL 68.167.161.182 (talk) 21:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC) While he was clearly a Christ figure, there were no plans to actually name him Jesus. There was a name, that was a spiritual figure that many believe was Jesus' name when he was in India. They originally used that name, then changed it to Eli which was similiar. But yes, there should be mention that he was clearly modeled after or was basically supposed to be Jesus Christ. 24.255.242.70 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:26, 29 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I was surprised that he was not included in the list of fictional Jesus Figures. His symbol was even the fish. 24.255.169.195 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 09:47, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
