I'm just taking this all in. It's a new idea for me to think of such a cornerstone of Christianity as something possibly beyond redemption.
Perhaps the only way to redeem Christianity is to transcend all the literalness. When the Jesus character of the bible says "I am the way" I've always thought that pointed toward a path whereby everyone redeems the world -or at least his own world. Of course I never thought everyone needed to be nailed to a cross - that would just be getting lost in the allegory. But I always thought the "way" referred to an example, not a passive acknowledgement of another's sacrifice.
So my brain is just giving me a 'loading signal'. Not sure what I'll make of all this yet.
