Hi Rufus;

I guess as the title of your thread suggest you like speaking for God.

Of course to do that you should 1st believe in God, but as I understand your theory you don't believe you are real.

I'm not trying to speak for God here but let me offer some of my thoughts on the matter.

God is male, following the male principle of being Active. The female principle is Passive, Yielding and Receptive of the Active God principle.

Now for the beautiful allegorical story of Jesus. Jesus is the Perfect Archetype of what we humans are capable of. Jesus was a Jew, accepted by many Jewish and Gentiles as being that Archetype.

You perhaps don't fully understand the metaphor of the cruxifiction of Jesus. Again a Perfect Innocent Martyr, whose suffering while imense, was necessary to demonstate how much Love that Person had.
Additionally, through God's grace that suffering on the cross lasted 3 hours instead of the normal day to days of suffering of slow suffication.

Just MY thoughts I'm not speaking for God.

Best,

Pat
