\"Vishnu\"Could a god have been a baby? <\/strong>It depends on what it takes to be a real god…<\/p>\n

Hindus who believe in avatars<\/a>, and catholic Christians say: yes<\/strong>, this is possible, for it has been actual.<\/p>\n

In Hinduism, this is particularly emphasized in Vaishnavite<\/a> traditions, in Christianity, Roman Catholicism<\/a>. They of course differ about which god this was.<\/p>\n

For other Christians, the answer is\u00a0no<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a previous post<\/a>, I commented that there is something pleasing about the idea that a mighty god stooped to become a small, weak baby.<\/p>\n

This time<\/strong>: story of Vishnu incarnate has been updated<\/a>.<\/p>\n
