I have to admit, I'm tired of playing with words. lol
No dionysos and Jesus are definately much different. They stand for completely different things. one brings peace and the other a downward spiral of desire. I can't see where Dionysos would get with his code though. Only because from my experience, indulgence is never good. Maybe if he means indulging and then being better off later for having experienced it...or that indulgence opens u up to knoing your other side.
The main beliefs of Jesus on the other hand, are quite peaceful and however ideal, would lead to a perfect state.
I don?t know how many times I have begged my computer to start working again when it has broken! "Please oh please oh please you f*cking piece of sh*t let me finish my paper!"
But do you ever really believe that begging your computer to work will actually result in it working?
Time is sacrificial you're right. But lets say you volunteer your time at a homeless shelter...Do you worship the shelter or people involved? I think you really just want to do a good deed and help others, not worship them.
why is a god special to you if anyone or anyhting can be a god? What's the point?

Ok so a parent who raped their child and left them to die is worthy of respect? I'm sorry but i could never respect that... I would still love and forgive them, but i couldn't respect them...
Reconstructionists believe this but what about you? You always say what other people and groups believe. Never yourself...
Not necessarily. It?s not always extraordinarily comforting to worship an imperfect diety, knowing that no one is ever, or ever could, swoop down from heaven and turn your life into this magical wonderland just because you ask. I find it a lot harder to worship an imperfect being because you end up being more responsible for your own actions, as well as for actions that aren?t necessarily your ?fault?.
What i mean is it's easier to worship something that you know exists. It takes a small amount of faith in comparison...

But perfection is like a staircase. It's just that no one chooses to follow it.
AND i said:We dont have to worship him but by worshipping him we find perfection. He only wishes us good.
Worshipping god leads to perfection but so would following "good", freeing yourself from desire, and loving all.

Oh i definately want God in my life, but it's what he teaches that is important. What is the point in worshipping if it just comes out of you like a habit?
God should always be a part of your life in every aspect but by loving others, freeing yourself form desire and ego, and workign towards salvation, you are constantly worshipping God. These goals encompass the entity of your life.
Praying is important but your actions in life are further important. They are a form of prayer. If someone prayed every other hour yet they lied and stole then what would be the point in praying?
Hopefully of course, praying as much as they do would bring them to a more holy state and help them to stop lieing/stealing.


But if the sacrifice was an entirely spiritual one, then why did Jesus have to go through the whole bloody, nasty process of crucifixion on the material plane? If it was really entirely spiritual then wouldn?t Jesus have just disappeared on the night of his spiritual death and his body have just vanished? lol that's a funny question.
Jesus didn't have to go through the physical crucifixion. We put him through it with our lack of faith. Would a so called "spiritual death" convince the ignorant human race of his presence? He had to become human and suffer a human death in order for the human mind to comprehend. But Jesus ressurection confirms that his physical form is unimportant. His spirit is what lives on. Material things seem good on earth, but they don't prepare you for perfection.
