In response to Nicea posted by BrianTubbs:
.
The deity of Jesus is the central tenet of mainstream, evangelical Christianity today.
.
The dictionary defines tenet as being a religious doctrine without proof.
.
I think we have to agree with Brian in his statement that Jesus is a deity--a part of what Christianity considers as God.
.
But, that same tenet also gets to be one of the main criticisms against Christianity as a belief system. Jesus presents himself as being just a man.

MARY MAGDALENE

I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool,
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.
.
He's just a man...
