It's more that you'd have to suffer from psychosis to genuinely believe you're the son of God, really.

As it happens I have experience of that myself.

How were you convinced you werent?

I was convinced I was actually.

I don't know how, I just got ill.

So he is a schizo.

More like god has multiple personality disorder.

Brought up Catholic,the concept of the triune god always confused me. No one then or since has explained it to me in a way I can understand and accept.

I think DeistPalladin is on the money


Oh, the reason the Jews have not accepted Jesus as the Messiah for 2000 years is that he simply did not meet prophecy. EG MOST importantly:The Messiah is to be a warrior priest in the Davidic tradition,a political -religious leader,establishing a new Jewish kingdom on earth AND he is NOT to die. The fulfilled prophecy claimed by Christian apologists is utterly rejected to this day by Jewish scholars. Indeed, I've never actually seen any accurate fortune telling, precognition or prophecy of any kind made before the event.

You need to study the scriptures not just read them if you want to have a understanding of them.

And your point is?

[Minimalist]

Oh his point is that if you keep reading that silly shit over and over he thinks you will see some hidden meaning...instead of just the simplistic shit that it is.

I suppose if you 'study' the collected series of garfield books you could work out some kind of religion.

There are now registered Jedi in the world because someone watched Star Wars enough times to see the wisdom.

I've seen the news reports on that. The gathering of Jedi, playing around with toy light sabers and speaking of the wisdom of Yoda seemed like a Poe to me. When these kids were asked if they really believed it, they seemed to answer in a way that looked like role-playing and mocking more traditional religions.
