"I am simply pointing out similarities between a religious figure and a character. Please leave religious debates out of this, it will simply ruin the discussion."

Where did you see a religious debate ? ^ ^; You pointed out similarities, I explained that in practice they prove quite different, with Christ focused on self-sacrificial idealism where Lawrence follows a reasonable wisdom. If you look closely, there wasn’t any reference at all to God and Christianism, so we seem pretty safe debate-wise.

What Lawrence does have in common with Christ is a high valuation of universal love for and among his chosen people. What he does have in common with Zeus is a very active sex life and a great many children. Where they differ is that Zeus is a terribly selfish and tyrannical ruler (reminds me of alpha cavemen), while Lawrence is exemplarily caring and generous.

The choice that Christ offers is essentially worshipping God or being tortured forever in the most nightmarish place imaginable, so… I’m not quite sure about free-will ^ ^;

@ Deathisnothing : Lawrence got his core personality from the first human he merged with, but the merging came with the complete understanding of everything the human is and ever experienced, this enlightenment spontaneously transcending the original personality into a vastly wiser version.

@ CoolCat : You know, the more you hijack Lawrence-related discussions, the more it feels like Cassius lives in his shadow, suddenly popping up uninvited and demanding more attention like a dismissed little brother ^ ^;
