[split] Are Questions About God Important?

[Belacqua]

I think this is important. People want to treat the Bible as journalism, or an instruction manual. It makes more sense as a challenge and a puzzle. 

If I were an omnipotent deity that's the way I'd write it. Ha!

I dont understand all of it.  

i search for that person i met one night - 

i read the bible looking for him, 

i do find him about in the world.

i try to leave his presence where ever i go.

I picture Jesus much as you do. Sort of as the answer to the question of What would a person be like if he always did the correct moral thing? How would we behave if we actually loved each other? 

Though I've never had the kind of revelatory experience you have, so for me it's all literary and aesthetic. But it's still important.

I remember something Herbert McCabe said: "If you don't love you're dead, and if you do, they'll kill you."
