Most People Insist That Two Separate Being Can Never Be One

Most People Insist That Two Separate Being Can Never Be One
This insistence arose mainly when people discuss Jesus’ saying: “I and 'the' Father are one”. (A side note: Jesus didn't say I and 'my' Father are one).  

I am a rational realist man who cannot follow what some others may insist on without looking around and see if what they insist on could be real or not.
I simply found out that the answer of the question “Could two separate real living beings become just one?” is not only a big YES, but it happens daily thousands of times, if not millions. I guess you know how, unless some of you didn’t have the chance to know the entire natural process by which a human baby could be born.
 
So, if in the material world this can happen, besides the possible existence of real friendship (discussed on my previous thread), what makes this saying to sound as being a supernatural matter, as claimed by all formal Christian Churches around the world?


I like adding, if it happens that I couldn’t have the chance to be a rational independent man who doesn’t base his knowledge on what others (mainly if they are of a certain powerful rich group, religious or political) may say, I would have no choice but to be an atheist (or agnostic?).
Anyway, I also can’t call myself Christian because I knew Jesus based on my logical reasoning only, not by having faith in him. I guess it is well known that a formal Christian is supposed to believe in Jesus (The Savior) based solely on faith, as Pagans do towards their Idols. I am just an independent student of Jesus.

Good question.
If you mean a kid of my blood, no I don’t have.
If you mean a kid who sees in me also as his father, then yes. Now, he is 45, married and got a son.

Fortunately, this village has some fantastic non-idiot persons, like you are. Naturally, it has to be very proud of having you.

Oh sorry, I forgot you see me just an idiot, so what I wrote on the first line has to be lunatic, at least to you Sad

The good news is that it seems that all here (so far) know for sure there is no mystery at all (to a theist or atheist) whenever two separate living beings are unified and become just one.

This is the point of this thread. A real human is whoever can trust that his given human intelligence has no limit. In fact, this is the hardest thing for a human can do.
It happened that, about 2000 years ago, this sort of trust was given as the greatest advice that a human can take advantage of.
