Jesus wasn't divine. He was a hippie who rebelled against a bloody and oppressive government. As a result, he convinced other hippies to follow him, until the Roman government made him a dead hippie. Then the others turned it into a hippie cult that would have gone nowhere if Emperor Constantine hadn't embraced it. Constantine shaped Christian beliefs 300 years after Jesus was a dead hippie on a stick.

Jesus preached peace and love, and if he were alive today, conservatives would trash him as a kooky liberal pacifist.

I hate hippies! I mean, the way they always talk about "protectin' the earth" and then drive around in cars that get poor gas mileage and wear those stupid bracelets - I hate 'em! I wanna kick 'em in the nuts!

Thanks for your view of history, which is very hippyish. but IF Jesus is divine and Mary is the mother of Jesus, then she is the Mother of God. This si the argument behind the term. As a matter of fact. there was at the time an argument by a prelate named Nestorius who said that the mother of Jesus was noit necessarily the Mother of God, because she was only the mother of his human nature. Mother is God is, therefore, a shibboleth of the opposing camp--the orthodox trinitarian camp.
