As far as your second question, who cares what word label you put on it, "miracles", "magick" or "quantum mechanics", it all results in the same thing. I do believe he did what he did and his purpose was to convince us that we could do the same. As far as how he did it, IMO, I think it is one of the theories of quantum mechanics that says your thoughts are energy that effect whatever it is you observe. Jesus had this talent and so does the human race but we dont know how to harness or use it yet. |
In spite of all I said in my other two posts, I can agree with this.
Who cares if the myths of Christianity are not accurate. The point is, the religion is a full working set of ideas that has had a very long time to cultivate and grow. Believing in religion need not be about rational interpretations of an otherwise nonsensical text. It's about how the faith helps you in your daily life.
I don't agree with quantum mechanics being a belief system, it's an established science -- I strongly assert that science and faith are logical opposites. But we've argued about this in another thread, it's not too important here but I thought I would mention that.
