Post #1524: 'they share the same father!" That's one promiscuous little whore.
'As (religious [italics]) coalitions, they are held together by imaginative engagement with axiologically relevant supernatural agents. As coalitions tied to a monotheist (Religion [it.]) that traces its roots to the west Asian axial age, however, they are also shaped by a long tradition of attempts to detect the Highest God possible -- an (infinite [it.]) supernatural Agent. The conceptual problems with such an idea are tricky enough, but the practical problems are a nightmare. It is hard to relate to a moralistic Entity whose intellect contains absolutely everything (eternally). christ as the image or representative of this god provides believers with a mediating supernatural agent in relation to whom the cognitive and coalitional defaults that hold together religious groups can more easily be activated.'
