Jesus lives....or should we say Jesus lives in the collective mind as a archetype from the refinement of many myths & heros. An upgraded model built & evolved from an amalgamation out of the past Prometheus, Hercules , Theseus , Zoroasters , Osirus etc . The romans were constantly dabbling in the oriental mysteries , the "Man God" being nothing new but one who promised salvation to everyman was a powerful allure . It is one of the necessities of the life of the mind of the primate who dreams dreams and the dramas he imagines , to create and include those Hero's that can conquere all & go beyond all .... who can point to resolution to the conditions of fear, war , sickness and death that have plagued all of us from the beginning . The "One" who can intercede with primordial "Hidden One" (AMEN) and defeat all demons and even death . To offer eternal life and light , in place of eternal darkness and lead us to the "promised land" . So from the earliest Greek Plays performed under the stars in the amphitheatres, with those Tragedies & Comedies performed with the fallen Heros who rose to conquere again , and the religious dramatic ritual & rites from which man drew meaning comes the final "Prophet/Messiah/Mahdi" to embody the ritual's final fulfillment for realization in the "next" world. Think the change comes with an "other world/afterlife " focus , rather than the earth based nature centered belief , with the idea of everyman may achieve salvation and be welcomed home by "God" , that attracted so many .

<No. Because you refuse to acknowledge the evidence to the contrary.> But that's YOUR issue... I"ve said a bunch of times there's certainly no scientific 'proof' either way and we disagree and that's fine. YOU are the one who thinks he knows the truth about it!! Got that... it's YOUR need to somehow think there needs to be a definitive answer for it all. It's YOU that think it matters somehow! That's called EGO. You actually seem to think that if everyone just saw it your way (gradeschool age probably) everything would be fine. This is a great example of you thinking you know the difference between a 'myth' and a fact. You don't have a clue. All sorts of scientists would tell you they think there was probably a guy (Jesus) that people followed around. So? <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?> Excuse me but you're the one that has done ZERO reading on the topic ever since I got here... looking for mommies spoon again? You're regressing, toddler know. <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".> Dude, I'm assuming you want my viewpoint, since I can't give you other peoples viewpoints or reasons, only my own. I KNOW you think YOU can give others viewpoints... so from my viewpoint, how can anything that is omnipresent 'sin'? That's like saying mother nature can sin.?? <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.> My viewpoint is that if there is a god it would be something like the unified field, as that seems to be a good description of what god could be (omnipresent, omniscient, etc). <Not at all, DAK. I refer to the "Christian God" to differentiate that Deity from the Deities belonging to other religions. > Why? If we're looking for the truth, and you think there IS NO truth in religion, why differentiate at all? If there IS a god, if there IS truth, it (god or truth or both) must be everywhere, all the time. Why go way back to all that stuff, there's plenty to discuss and look at without futzing with all that stuff. Go to the 'spirituality' section of the book store and pick somthing out for Christ's sake! -ggg- dAK
