Two questions

I have just read the questor strips through for the first time, so forgive me if this was covered before:
1) Is Yeshu Christ?
2) Are there other races besides humans, racconen and garghum?

Do the zoroans count? They are creations of Malamite, not RHJunior.

I'm not too sure about the religious question, if memory serves (and I know never to claim that it does for me) yeshua is related linguistically to joshua which is another name used for christ. (of course I've never paid too much attention to the religious matters in great detail

I believe there are, I know at least the dwarves are mentioned and in the ART that was made in the comic between

While it has never been explicitly stated that Yeshu = Christ (or at least if it has, i missed it) theres alot of links that have been made that suggest a similarity between the the christian church and the theology of the Rac-conans.

http://npc.keenspace.com/d/20041122.html - For example.
http://npc.keenspace.com/d/20040905.html - This one suggests that the sojourner church (which i think is the accepted church of the majority of the Rac Cona ... if not all of them) might have been influenced by human teachings.

But yeah, i dont know for sure, but i think that if they arnt identical, then they are at least similar. (or maybe its better to say similar interpretations of the same person? ... again i dont know)

Yeshua, if i remember right, is an old spelling for Joshua but was also used for Jesus. I'm pretty sure it has religious implication as far as Ra'Conan religion is concerned. Note the links give by everyone so far to check it out.

Yeshua, Joshua, and Jesus are all the same name. Jesus is merely the Greek form of the name.

Jesus was given that name because he was taking the leadership position left by Joshua, who lead the Isrealites into Canaan.
