It has nothing to do with Christs divinity in specific, but a lot to do with the ontology of God as seen from the orthodox Christians perspective, and therefore indirectly a lot to do with Christ. Again, you are conflating separate issues as a distraction.
Ev, are you seriously not getting this? You're showing yourself up a little. I'm actually surprised at how badly you're missing JP's point.
What he's saying is that the God he has proven to exist bares a scarce resemblance to the God of the bible if you stretch and alter the definition of each of God's attributes to mean completely different things altogether. Independently proving a God which (barely) resembles the god of the bible is a further indication that the document must be valid and thus Jesus is the son of God and Christianity is the one true religion.
I followed it with no problems.
Was the sarcasm easy to pick up?
