I'm not talking about disagreeing or otherwise. I've accepted that you probably never will understand the counter-argument. You've never shown any hint that you do and I don't expect it now. That's ok! Each to his own.

If a sportsman gives away points to the other side, the other side won't complain. If you, as an atheist, are happy arguing for the doctrine of several of the minor branches of christianity (which is what you do, perhaps unintentionally), then hey, ultimately I'm happy for you. Peace dude.

Disagreeing and understanding are two completely separate things. Just because I don't agree doesn't mean I don't understand. I'm not the only one....atheist or otherwise. But you are right...("to each his own")....If you believe it then fine. I have absolutely no problem if you believe it. It's only for the sake of this theological discussion I disagree with the interpretation.

No one is arguing for any sect of christianity but you. I'm discussing the interpretations made suggesting he is God and the information in the 4 gospels do not show that he is.

Peace to you as well.

It must be difficult for an atheist. It is much more difficult to explain away a god who shows up in the flesh than one you can't see or hear. But then people who do not wish to believe in a God have no trouble explaining away whatever they please. A person who wishes to believe something will never be dissuaded by the facts.

Your presumption is that the 4 gospels say that it did. And so far they do not report such an event.

What's your point here? It's not as though the non believers in deities are the only ones who explain it away...there are believers in your god who disagree with your intepretations as well....

Not dissuaded by "facts" rather your interpretations.
