Well you're both guilty of assuming your preferred conclusion in the face of contradictory evidence. Not really a good way to approach much of anything.

What exactly does the word "complete" mean to you?

Ask yourself, you used it first. Be sure to keep its context.

I'm thinking you need to be a David Koresh or a Jim Jones to be a "complete asshole". The description hardly
applies to JC.

How do you know that? More rash assumptions about what was in the mind of someone two millennia ago from scant stories recalled by his adoring followers?

This guy doesn't think Koresh was "a complete asshole":

Clive Doyle, a 72-year-old Australian-Texan, still lives in Waco and still has Bible study every Saturday with another survivor, Sheila Martin. Doyle has become the Davidians' unofficial historian and spokesman. He says they are still waiting on the resurrection of Koresh.
"We survivors of 1993 are looking for David and all those that died either in the shootout or in the fire," Doyle says. "We believe that God will resurrect this special group."
