"Hung up?? Just because I think he exists???" No. Because you refuse to acknowledge the evidence to the contrary. "Just that it retains much less truth than the less (IMO) less 'muddied' (by history) Eastern religions" What is the "Truth" you are referring to? Perhaps if you could sketch out the basic tenets of your belief, I could perhaps help you to identify the philosophy, religion, or path that you are groping to define? "Your Christian god is... and most other Christians, I assume. But not for all Christians." What Christian sect believes that God is not separate from His creatures? "Whatever... how the unified field could "sin" would be beyond me, bwtfdik." DAK?? Are you ok? I said "the Christian God is without sin". I don't know of any Christian sect that identifies Jesus with the "unified field". If a unified field is ever established, do you think it will have spiritual implications? I'm just trying to figure out what it is you might believe. You seem to be interested in the TOE. Is this because you believe there is a spiritual dimension to the reconciliation of fundamental forces? "Throw in science, and call it a 'smudge pot'?" It is not necessary to throw different beliefs into a smudge pot. If one is to examine the validity of beliefs, one does best to examine those beliefs with accuracy. Such accuracy does not follow from sloppy definitions, or from conflating different beliefs. "You know, it occurs to me, after all your assertions about 'the Christian god', that it is in fact you, who are "hung up on Jesus"." Not at all, DAK. I refer to the "Christian God" to differentiate that Deity from the Deities belonging to other religions. When I speak of Christianity (unless otherwise noted) I am speaking to the core beliefs of the Nicene Creed, to wit: "I believe in one God, the Father Almighty Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible: And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven, and became man. and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man: And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures: And ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father: And he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead: Whose Kingdom will have no end: And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father [and the Son] Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And I believe in One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection of the Dead: And the Life of the world to come. Amen."
