^This seems like a far cry from "God killed Jesus and God thinks killing is ok."
Can't let that slide, CL. Sorry. God doesn't have parts. He is simple...not complex. No parts.
Very true. I was referring to the trinity. Father, Son, Holy Spirit... with the Son (Jesus) having been the one who came. Not "part", but the Son from the trinity, all which is God.

Note how the Christians can't even agree on their own story.
No, he is correct. I just did a poor job of referring to the trinity.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
