But that's not what I said. What I said was, once you accept God for who He is, you can properly understand what the people who knew Him (in this case, the authors of the Bible) have said.
You're right that there is a problem when people watch reality come into direct conflict with their theology and choose theology over reality. Many people do that. But since God is the ultimate Reality, then it must be possible to have a theology that doesn't conflict with Reality. You just have to have the courage to admit when you've been wrong.
Which is an article of Faith. Which again, proves my point.
There is as much evidence for the existence of Zeus as there is Jehovah. In fact, same for Shiva, Odin, Thor, the Great Spirit, Vishnu, Enki, and any number of others.
Only our personal faith tells us which one might be "right" for us.
Or does it? As I theorize, could they all hold "part" of the truth? That not only do Deities exist, but that our place relative to them has less to do with any one particular religions edicts than we conceitedly think.
