[quote=Anonymous]There is a significant mystical element to Christian & Catholic metaphysics (like the metaphysics of many other religions) which is irreducible to logical analysis. Unquestioning belief in an abstraction--"the divinity of Christ"--does that make you a "Christian" if you are simply parroting the words of authority figures but do not have a spirtiual, intuitive understanding of what it means? The Bible is filled with parables about people struggling with belief, and to believe. What do those parables mean? Where do you fit in? Only a fool or child blindly believes in anything, without constantly questioning that belief. Where you believe Jesus to have been divine is entirely a personal matter for your conscience. If that belief on your part, whatever it is, should cause someone else to label you "Christian" or "NOT Christian" is meaningless.[/quote]
