Was Jesus a God or a man?

[Mudhammam]

To add to what Rhythm said, I wonder if Hezekiah would continue trying to persuade others of faith and religion--given his knowledge that they're false but still retaining them due to personal preference--and if so, we can conclude that such a person is a flat out liar with little regard for integrity and probably complete absence moral conviction (if you, however, state that you would not seek to persuade others of your cherished but false ideas, then by all means, carry on however you'd like).

I didn't even want to have this conversatioin. I said earlier:

I don't want to open that discussion up and derail the thread, so I'll leave the topic alone from here on out.

And I was met by:

Well, we're talking about this now, so go on. Threads deviate all the time.

Gotta admit, I'm extremely curious. Whats scary about the idea of "no god"?

Was it wrong for me to answer their questions? And should I have just ignored them instead?

Not at all. I think many of us were already aware that a great deal of the motivation behind religious belief and faith is the hope for a sense of security or comfort rather than regard for truth. I really do appreciate you admitting as much.
