Mushroom Christ (yeah there are books on that theory) vs Bread Christ (yeah there's four books plus a bunch more on that theory).

Here's something on The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross.

I love trans Jesus as much (or more) than the next guy but I really hate the chromosomal argument for it. the logic simply does not hold up. God can create out of nothing. God could create a child with XY chromosomes with no father. We know extremely little about the particular physical body of Jesus of Nazareth except that he had one, it was wounded, and it was raised.

So my best arguments are:

The Logos: Jesus Christ is the Logos (Word) of God, the second person of the Trinity. This Logos is associated with Wisdom in Hebrew scriptures, which is grammatically female and personified as a woman. When this Wisdom/Logos/Word is incarnated on earth, it is as a man. Trans Word of God.

The Body of Christ: Believers are the Body of Christ and Jesus is incarnate in us. Trans believers are in the Body of Christ, the Body of Christ is trans, Christ is trans. (And not-trans.)

And the biggest one: God becoming incarnate, going from infinite to finite, is trans. It's a literal transition and a transgression of boundaries. At the end of the day, transness is the name we've given to the experience of transgressing gendered boundaries. In the eternal mystery of the incarnation, all human boundaries-- of geography, of religion, of ethnicity, of class, of gender-- are transgressed and transformed. More than being literally trans in the 20th-21st century, God enters into all of our boundary crossings, in every time and place.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

[according-to-the-catholic-church]

According to the Catholic Church, how many natures does Jesus Christ have?

One - a human nature

One - a divine nature

One - but it is both human and divine

Two - a human nature and a divine nature

Just as many as you say, Father.

Massive worldbuilding pet peeve: a lot of people making fictional religions lack any sort of theology

Maybe it's cause a lot of writers aren't super religious, so their sole point of reference for the faith is learning the myths and a few ritual practices, so their religions end up exactly like that or a barebones mythology with Catholic aesthetics, but fictional religions often don't go beyond that into

A lot of fictional religions will have characters like Jesus, but how many of them will have something like Christology?
