Hello to all

[Confused-by-christianity]

Hi Confused-by-christianity,
I get what you mean. I see it from a layman’s perspective, myself. I do like discussing it. I don’t know if I shed (or will shed) any light, but certainly open to discussing it more!
Here is a quote from a website (I can’t link to it yet)

Theology is rooted in two Greek words: Theos, meaning God, and logos, meaning reason. Theology is using our reason to study and know more about God and how he has shown himself to the world. There is a discipline known as “natural theology,” whereby we are able to study certain truths about God, including the fact that he has created the world and the fact that God exists. As St. Paul makes clear that God’s existence is revealed through his creation, the truth of natural theology is knowable by reason alone. “Christian theology” is when we use our reason to study and know more about God and how he has shown himself to the world. The object of study is God and his revelation, including how he had revealed himself to Israel and in the definitive revelation in his Son, Jesus Christ, which is especially manifested in Scripture and Tradition. Theology often goes further than this by applying what we know about revelation to new topics and social phenomena. In short, because God touches every facet of our existence, theology deals with the whole of life.

How do you see theology?

I guess what i mean when i say theology is: what someone thinks god is like, and how people think we should respond to him. also - the answer to the question "the way everything is?". "Hows it all work - with god and the universe and everything??" (Not 42).

I think different groups have different beliefs about that and they have a different value system.

I assume you mean - who is god, whats he like, whats he want from us, whats he made the universe to be like. Basically if someone wrote down their religion.
