Hey beliver,
In my opinion the answer is simple. It's theological symbolisim. God is a non-corporial bein, and jesus being so important to him, he symbolicaly sits at his right side. Of course, god has no side. At least this is one explanation.
However, thrughout the bible god is often pictured as having a corpus. He walks in the garden, comes down in human form often, So I'm not so sure how this explanation holds up
In any case, I think if you read thrugh these forums there is a wealth of information that would steer you away from the bible and christianity. It has good philosphies, but it simply does not make sense in a litteral way.
May I ask, why did you become a christian?

Point taken, I wasn't trying to be militant. Just was trying to let the individual know that there is plenty of factual info relating to the validity of the world view he has recently adopted. Since he is a recent convert, I wanted to make sure he was aware of the controversies surounding his religioun before commiting to it fully.
