“I don’t believe he was a son of god nor a miracle worker. Reason being is because at the time people still believed the world to be flat and that the Sun revolved around the Earth.”
Not sure how people not yet understanding the shape of the world or that the sun wasn’t going around the earth should have anything to do with whether or not he could have been the Son of God. If he’d some just before the Wright Bros flew that airplane, would you say he couldn’t have been the Son of God because man didn’t know he could fly yet?
I don’t see what the level of knowledge the people had at the time Jesus may have been here has to do with whether or not He was who He said He was. If He actually comes today, our current state of scientific knowledge won’t have a thing to do with who HE is. It just doesn’t follow.
Logically, it does: They were superstitious peoples and knew nothing of physical science. They didn't understand lightning; they didn't understand where disease came from; they didn't understand weather nor storms nor tides. Everything they didn't understand was directly attibuted to a god.
Do you really believe the stories in the Old Testament are true? Do you believe that Revelations in the New Testament is true from some guy in a cave? I understand that this is all about faith, but "blind" faith is something I don't believe that a god who gave us free will and logic would want.
Disclaimer: I am not an atheist, I'm am an agnostic who believes there is something behind the universe. I believe in "divine design" for this rock when it comes to evolutio, but don't subscribe to a wrathful god who needs to be worshipped. Since a child, I always found that petty. How could a benevelant god who created the entire universe need or even want to be worshipped?
Before you ask: I find my humanity and goodwill in the fact that I have sympathy, empathy, and compassion for my fellow human - it's part of our human make-up until others and life experience buries it.
