Thanks . . . I think. It was all I knew. We human beings can make meaning and community out of just about anything - - great for survival of the species, not so great for rational and optimal thinking. My conversion was a LOOOONG process, which made it more bearable, I think. Slow questioning. But I have described it to a few folks as feeling like I deliberately set fire to my house, and then stood around saying "now what?".
Didn't mean it in a bad way if that's how it looked. Sorry.
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
