You say this because you are a rational thinker. What you say reminded me of this paper I wrote.

PROJECTION
By New 10.

Because Jesus is an empty page (left up to the interpretation of the believer) believers can make him say and do anything the believers want. In other words the believers put into the mouth of Jesus what the believers want to hear, that is why the believers can read his mind, called projection. Another way to say it the believer and Jesus are one.

Ronin

It appears that way because the intent of Baidarka, in this consideration of Jesus...is one of poetry.

original interaction on this issue between Ronin and Baidarka:

My suggestion is for you to visit another thread or, perhaps, start one of your own regarding the historical existence of Jesus, son of God.

By the way, being an atheist does not preclude me from participating in the subtle and beautiful art of poetry.

Does it you, Newton Joseph?
