[you are a concrete reductionist!
My writings have not displayed any tendencies towards metaphysical materialism.
[who gave us the cognitive faculty of reason through !
Who gave us? Who made this watch? Must have been the same kind of a person who made us! Its just an old superstition that has been thoroughly eviscerated by Hume. The universe does not need a creator. What we have is just the infinite realm, and the finite scope that we perceive it through is no more than how the infinite realm emanates to our minds.

[You speak of the idea of Jesus in psychological terms, inspired by Jung your true Christ who shows you the way and understands the human soul to the utmost extent!!
What reason do we have to believe in any of this? Is there anything in concrete observations that points towards anything of the like? Any formula, in mathematical logic?
[Yes Jung is the one who understands that humans possess a "rushing to the toilet need" to create archetypes! !!
Jung maintains that we necessarily perceive everything in archetypes, that is just the way human nature works. There is no way around it. It is as fundamental to our perceptions as are time, space, color and heat.
[Yes Jung is the one who understands that humans possess a "rushing to the toilet need" to create archetypes!!!
I take it something that Jung said is not in line with your sensibilities. What you're saying is that because you think there is something wrong with Jung as a person, there must be something wrong with his ideas--IE, he must not know what human nature is like. This is a textbook example of an ad hominem logical fallacy.
[We need this ideal that we/humans came up with, in which we tried to bring God himself on earth to make it more accesible,!!!
What is God? You still haven't answered the primary question of this discourse.
Made him more accessible? How?
[yet unconsciously you are being hypocritical because by reading your question on this thread it seems that you are doing exactly just that!,!!!
Encouraging blind obedience to arbitrary authority? No, this is the fundamental difference between philosophy and religion. When I tell you something that I think is true, I'd never assert that you should take my word for it, you should question everything and believe only in things that you can support with logical argument. Religion just tells you the following: Here is the way it is, believe it. End of discussion.
Wow you amaze me with your power to rationalize things, but tell me: Who is the greater being-one who allows the mind and heart to believe and conceive of something greater than the self!,!!!
There isnt a need for a greater being its all an old superstition which should have been burried all the way back in the middle ages with St.Aquinas. Quite the effrontery that it is still around. Much like Schopenhauer said reviving Thomistic theistic rationalism after Kant and Hume is just like if we were to wish to re-introduce alchemy to modern chemistry.
[or someone that can't accept anything like that?!,!!!

It is always wrong for anyone to believe anything on insufficient evidence.

In order to accept Jesus as the being HE IS, one needs to realize that unlike Santa Clause he himself purported to die for us/humans-in order
What we know is that we have a text where it says that he did all of those things which is likely apocryphal.
.
Unlike Santa Clause who brings you cheers, he spoke about life as being full of sorrows, yet he encouraged everyone to overcome it since he's done it himself! If you doubt the source on this matter, than perhaps you should doubt the source in everything that's older than your generation!
What's your point? There are many other religious leaders who claimed divinity for similar reasons, why do we brush them off in favor of Jesus?
.
It surprises me that everyone on this forum goes along with your churclish comments!
I don't have any minions.
