What Is The Point Of Prayer?

[Captain Colostomy]

Do you worship said emperors?

No that would be idolatry, only God alone should be your only focus, you will get the rest of the world thrown in for free. Yes so Jesus was God in some sense but it's not about worshiping a man it's all about God God God. You don't worship science, Carl Sagan, Neil Degrasse Tyson or anything like that, just God alone. The moment your focus wavers from God idol worship will kick in.

You missed my point. Even if I acknowledge that a person in history existed, it doesn't mean any supposed 'supernatural/divine' claims ascribed to them carry weight with me...and you admit with you, either. I take Jesus in this context...you however, do not. You equating emperors with your godboy opens Pandora's Box. You would now have to discount all other divine claims, while still accepting Jesus'. Problem here is there is better evidence typically for everyone else.

Now, if you brought up the emperor claims solely to legitimize a case for a historical man named Jesus, I'll play along. Of course, a man sans magick tricks makes your religion fall flat.

We will all worship something even if it isn't a supernatural being or a man, that's just human nature. God is ideal orientation of worship not whatever you will have set up in his place.

Not everyone thinks like you do. That's human nature.
