I found this paragraph interesting, if not creative. "I am not sure about this. For one thing, don't Christians take their Jesus to be equal to God, part of the trinity? What do you think they take him as? That's the criticism of Islam, which is precisely that the Christians see him more than a prophet, but equal to God. If you think of God more in the Eastern way, which means not a personal God, then it is easier to see how a man can express that he is equal to God, that is, if he now locates his identity with the principle of consciousness itself. If someone has defeated the ego, one's limited imperfections, and is now completely clear and open to the transcendent, can he not say he IS God, in essence? " I was taught about the "divine right of Kings" in the US education system." ~Avram3
Of course evangelicals take their Jesus to be equal to God. Why do you think people pray to Jesus? The son of God...I have never thought he was God. Never. I refuse. Read from Sentence 3 through the end. Pretty much sums it up don't ya think? Or? What else? Duality/Reality? Do we ever defeat the ego? Whaddya think? Didn't Jim used to address this kind of stuff?
