Your last point is well taken. I like to believe that what I’ve actually experienced is more important than what I think I know. When taking with others, their personal experiences and stories are more interesting than what they’ve learned through education or reading about it.
That said, I think your attitude towards theology and religion is misplaced. Holy Scripture is the source from which we receive instruction. Theology is the means by which what has been received becomes knowledge. Religion is how we express and practice that knowledge. The full Christian life depends on a healthy balance of all three working together.
...and I am appalled by anyone being motivated by blood-thirst to kill other human beings, even if they are communists or terrorists.
