The human mind has a primitive ego defense mechanism that negates all realities that produce too much stress for the brain to handle. Itโs called Denial.
Dan BrownAt this gathering [Council of Niceau in 324 AD] many aspects of Christianity were debated and voted upon โ the date of Easter, the role of the bishops, the administration of sacraments, and, of course, the divinity of Jesus... until that moment in history, Jesus was viewed by His followers as a mortal prophet... a great and powerful man, but a man nonetheless. A mortal.
Dan Brown
