I would like to tell you about God, but I must do it carefully. I think many believers speak full brunt of our Lord Jesus Christ, and it tends to put people off. (I wrote an apologetic about that here.) I myself have gotten criticism about that here. But it's a part of me, I cannot help but express my feelings about Those Above in some way. How, then? How, without being boorish or boring? Perhaps I must ask for forgiveness from you if you do not believe. I think, though, that would be an easy way out, just writing boring stuff and saying, "Sorry for boring you." A cop-out. I think the best way may be to do it in secret. I will write about God in metaphor only, through hints and never the direct expression, and only sometimes will I be writing about Him. I will point with my elbows.
So, then. It is never to take the easy way out. I have found that that ends up being the hard way, because you leave the hard part for later, when it's more intractable. I will be a finger pointing up, sometimes, though I will be speaking as if my finger is pointing up for a different reason than the hidden why. And I will make no apology, because I am doing my best not to bore you with the letter of my message, but to bring to you a distillation of its spirit. And the message, I think, is so that if you take out the words "Jesus" and "God", you may find it is a kindred voice to what you may find in your inmost heart, even if you don't believe it.
My work begins.

to andrea, I am not a very strong believer in Christianity, I'm still at the point where i can't believe in one certain thing unless I know everything that it includes believing in, but why would people make fun of you for being a Christian?

i read once "say not that i have found truth, but that i have found A TRUTH"
It is a beautiful thought that there are many truths and people become dispaired because they are forced to pick one.
