Not sure. 1?
That's not my point though.
Jesus being god makes him divine.
Whether he is God is a different matter.

That is the problem with a god outside of us. What about this, we are part of God and God is everything that has ever existed, will ever exist, never existed and never will exist and more. Paradoxes are allowed.
Depends what we mean by God.
God the creator is absolute. We were definately created, or have always existed, but being created seems more likely.
God the leader is almost impossible. No evidence, no leads, nothing to suggest it except story books, which contradict eachother and themselves.
Me saying we have no creator is foolish; if people thought that's what I meant when I said there is no God, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. When I talk about God, I mean the leader, not the creator. And if you think they're the same, you are misinformed.

So you see God as more of, let's say, a computer programmer that sets up the program's rules and regulations, then allows the program to take its course?

The commandments are jewish. And if Jesus is God, like you say, then Mary is mother of God. Fail.
Of course the commandments are Jewish. Jesus was of Jewish decent also. So were many of the prophets as mentioned in the bible. But Jesus was NOT God, He was the Son of God.
Failure? Ive given you overwhelming evidence that God exists. You're the one who has yet to prove that He does not. You trying to find God is on par with a criminal trying to find the policeman. You'll never find Him as long as you continue running away from Him.
