Ah, the deep stuff. :-)

I think--with all the uncertainty implied by the word--that we all have whatever divinity that Christ had within each of us, which seems to be where you're going towards the end there; but then I don't believe that Christ was God's only son, or that Christ was entirely unique, and I don't have too much use (personally) for the idea of the Christian Trinity. I tend to see Jesus as a human being who was able to (and chose to) access his own divine nature and power, rather than a god descended. In fact, I believe the God-nature is in everything--whole in each of us and yet infinitely bigger than us and containing/manifesting existence--some kind of pantheism/panentheism. I'm not sure if I believe in a personified transcendent deity these days...my state of belief is in a more fluxy state of flux than usual...

Did that make any sense?
