Is Allegorical Religion better than Fundamentalism?
#58
RE: Is Allegorical Religion better than Fundamentalism?
@vulcanlogic, if God orchestrates historical events,then He can also orchestrate them towards a narative that has allegorical meaning. That is the traditional view, Bel seems to favor. I favor a Swedenborgian alternative. Instead, of only select events being imparted with spiritual meaning, such as the cruxifiction, while others are considered mundane, I see meaning as something deeply embedded in reality.
