      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Declan Finn, author of badass action novels

      I believe that Jesus was God, but I've always disliked this Lewis argument (fallacy of the excluded middle). Perhaps Jesus never claimed to be divine, or his claims were oblique, and in either case got exaggerated by his followers in the 30-70 yrs between Crucifixion & writinghttps://twitter.com/DeclanFinnBooks/status/1192523374809042944 …

      Also see CS Lewis -- either Jesus was God, or he was insane. There is nothing else to explain it. Making it secular, and saying He was an early "humanist" is some deep, ignorant BS. https://twitter.com/JZmirak/status/1192517876206489603 …

      Also I consider it to be bizarre that the idea "maybe Jesus was the son of God, maybe he was just really awesome" ends up being a culture war thing. Why can't we stipulate to the really awesome part and go from there? (And I'm agnostic/atheist here)

      Because one side of the culture war believes that if you don’t believe *both* parts, and act accordingly, your immortal soul is damned for all eternity. That’s not really a meet-in-the-middle sort of deal.

      You can believe it, or not. But if you don’t believe that others believe it, you will never, ever understand them or why they act they way they do and why they will not compromise.

      Replying to @WhippleMarc @MorlockP

      To clarify, the part *I* don't understand is much more *my* side constantly feeling the need to dispute the 'pretty awesome' part. I mean, if you're trying to argue he isn't the son of god, then "humans can't be that awesome" seems like a crap starting point ;)

      I find challenging unproveable axioms to be (a) tiresome, (b) aggressive / an attempt at social dominance / belittling. If you think that eating animals is wrong ... what of it? I'm never going to convince you to change your ethics, and belittling you for it is just rude.

          Oh, I agree that trying to argue about it at all is futi-oh. I was wondering "why do the people who do argue about it start by kneecaping themselves?" and I've realised I should've been asking "how stupid does somebody have to be to argue about it?" and then all becomes clear.
