Your specific complaint that started this nonsense was that applying emotions to a god was anthropomorphic, I pointed out that Jesus was the anthropomorphism of Yahweh. I did not add that your faith insists that not only was Jesus an aspect of the triune but also fully human and therefore fully aware of human emotions and subject to them - because I thought you knew that.
From context I gather that the body of your text refers to "incarnate" but the casual reader would not be so aware. If incarnate was a title applied to the god/man Jesus then you might be correct but it is not. Similarly "The Incarnation" may be a unique event to Christians, but it is not to myself or others; remember I did not refer to a singular incarnation because incarnation is a popular tactic of deities, which is what I was making clear.
I owe no duty of respect to your deity because your deity does not exist. You may wish to continue with pointless formalisms and meaningless rituals but do not expect others to do the same. Ask yourself why you do certain things and why you need to write in a particular form. Why, for example, do you need to make the physical expression of subjugation by kneeling? Surely if you are truly Christian then you are entirely subject and your god is aware of it. On the other hand if you are just performing the act without being in subjection then why perform the act?
Lastly, on the use of capitals; please read "archie and mehetabel" and enjoy yourself.
