People are so totally cool and God's love is so overpoweringly amazing, that if there was only one people, Jesus would have come to save him.
So, by God's generous grace, I tend to like people, and to like their questions.
If I seem to be dodging the question, please hold my feet to the fire. If I need patience, I will ask for it.
In Herman Hesse's "Magister Ludi" ("Master of the Game", also, "Das Glasperlenspiel") the protagonist had the wonderful grace of, when he was stumped in a question, saying, "I will need time to think about that."
If we are about truth and not about winning, we will not be ashamed to ask for time to think.
As for "Why do I talk about sex all the time?" my answer is, "There's something else to talk about?" ;-)
But seriously: the energy in these discussions is because something even more wonderful than a lover has captured our hearts. And, even though I am a kind of amateur theologian, I am still eager to say that knowing anatomy is one thing, and making love is quite another. We share a burning love for our saving Lord, the tortured God. We would fight less if we remembered that we share that love and that that love is a thousand times more important than our efforts to say something coherent about it.
But again, it's late, and I will try to be coherent in the morning. No guarantees though ....
Okay, thanks. And an “amateur theologian”, you ain’t. I think it all came from your Protestant background, though. ;o)
