The Jesus of the Bible ain't the real Jesus
You say you truly are a Christian, but that we created Jesus...
The Jesus of the Bible is a not "real".
The Bible records only some of what Jesus said or did, and even then, it was recorded differently by different people.
To hold that the Jesus of the Bible is the sum total of the man is ridiculous.
The Bible never mentions Jesus taking a dump. Son of God or no, I'm betting he had to relieve himself at least once.
The Bible records only SOME of what Jesus said. Were the rest of his words just completely worthless? Did he not say ANYTHING to any of the other apostles?
The YECs believe in Biblical literalism because they hold that Jesus was God, that Jesus was inerrant, and that Jesus said that the writings of Moses were correct.
But, if Jesus was divine and inerrant, then EVERY SINGLE THING he ever said was important. Where is the 99.99% of the things he did and said?

Re: The Jesus of the Bible ain't the real Jesus
You'd consider that important? More or less improtant that him taking a shit?
You feel you are in a position to determine whether or not something which God said is worth listening to?
The foundation of YEC is that this one sentence that Jesus said was written down correctly and outweighs the 99.99% of the rest of the stuff he said.
So, consider this exchange lost to history:
Mark: Hey, Jesus, did you mean creation literally took six days?
Jesus: Well, not "days" like a 24 hour day. It's an allegory.
Mark: What's an allegory?
Jesus: It's like a parable, a story to express a concept. It's not to be taken literally.
Mark: Oh, cuz me and the other guys thought you meant 6 actual days.
Jesus: No. That'd be crazy. Hey, are you writing this down?
Mark: Nah, I'll remember to write it down later.
Jesus: Be sure that you do.
Mark: Right-o Chief. Hey, pass the wine.

Fuck YEC
What's your point?
That the YECrs are crack pots who've teetered their entire faith on the head of a pin.
