Prepare to be inquisitioned for heresy. Not for insulting Christianity, but for calling Jesus a demigod.

Did someone say... heresy?

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Isn't he both god and man, supposedly? Is that not the definition of a demigod?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 42 points 1 day ago (6 children)

A demigod is (roughly) 50% man 50% god. Jesus is supposed to be 100% man and 100% god. That's less of a demigod and more of a contradiction.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

That's not a contradiction if they aren't related. Is god a species? I don't think so. It's like saying a cat is 100% cat and 100% cute. They're different things. He's not a human-god hybrid. He's a god who also happens to be human (at that time).

(Before people go assuming I'm arguing on the validity of all this, it's stupid. I'm an atheist. The whole thing doesn't really make sense. I'm just correcting a logical mistake.)

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, but then we get into "what is human?" Last time I checked, humans can't walk on water, raise the dead, or resurrect themselves.

[–] captain_oni@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 16 hours ago

"what is human?"

A miserable little pile of secrets!

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago

I don't think those are part of the definition of human. If we develop the ability to walk on water, for example, does that make us not human? I don't think it would. Human is being of the species homo sapiens and nothing else. That does not definitionally preclude being a god.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not a contradiction, it just depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.

Found Bill Clinton's Lemmy acct.

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even if Jesus is 100% man and 100% god simultaneously cause reasons, that still means his composition is 50% god and 50% man, which still fits the Demi god definition.

Except that he's also 100% the Holy Spirit (which is also 100% God and 100% Jesus), so he's like...67% God/ethereal being?

IDK, maybe Jesus had DID/was a system the whole time.

if i was an omnipotent god, i would try to break logic at least once too

Ever heard of the satanic temple? An atheist religion. Heres their 7 tenets

  • One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

  • The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

  • One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.

  • The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

  • Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

  • People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

  • Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Why aren't they all vegan?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

wow, the tenets are incredibly based, the rules are... less so

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

What rules are you referring to?

Oh nvm I guess they edited them out of their comment

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

search out eleven-rules-of-earth

They're not necessarily horrible; a number of them are good advice, some are a little strange

When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.

If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

There's one about magic.

Honestly, the 7 Tenets are so based, I think the entirety of humanity would do well to use them as their default.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

That's because they're from two different sects. The Rules of the Earth come from the Church of Satan, and the 7 Tenets come from The Satanic Temple.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

ah crap, my bad. I'm going to edit that.. sorry.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago

that wasn't a command :) more like ordering at the bar :) I kinda love the Tenets :)

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 18 hours ago

i'll take one temple please...

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

So that means that jesus total is 200%, which can be still correctly rappresented as 100%, so he is still a demigod

[–] white_nrdy@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

So they're just bad at math. Got it
