Oh, I don't know, about 1,500 years of Christian teaching that Jesus was, and had to be, both fully human and fully God? cf Council of Chalcedon and Docetism.
But for full disclosure, I'm among those who think that whether or not there was a historical Jesus is an open question and most likely always will be. Needless to say that if there was a historical Jesus he was 100% human and that there is not, never has been nor ever will be anyone walking around who is any % God. So I'll stay out of this type of Christological controversy.
Okay. We are not all the mice you cats think we are.

It's good to know that one must have a penis and be learned in reading and writing in order to be considered for the position as a noble and great one.
PRAISE EFFING Jesus!!!!!
Nightlion, please let me know who falls into the category as a noble and great one. Jesus never wrote a single word, so I suppose we can count him out.

Christ is the greatest author, God, Creator who writes on the fleshy tables of the heart. Have you not read?

Unmotivated in the sense that there are no agreeded upon facts that are (in principle) beyond the explanitory resources provided by biology, psychology, and sociology.
So, what half of the equation are you talking about? What facts about gender need supernatural explanation??
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie
