Truth

Truth, of course, must be stranger then fiction, for we have made fiction to suit ourselves.

-G.K. Chesterton

This quote seems to ring so true...especially when considering made up beliefs and religions, that are brought about from attempts at reconciling lack of understanding with creative writing.

If we are trying to understand God beyond a surface level, shouldn't we expect to have to dive deep for an answer, sometimes waiting years?

Faith, can be defined a million ways...one of the ways I see it, is that faith is what carries you through the questions that logic and reason have not yet been able to answer. Please do not take this as suggesting that reason and logic have no part in my faith and belief, they are in fact an enormous part of it...what I want to make clear is that when one ponders God and eternity...there will ALWAYS be unanswerable questions...there is no end to the depth of God. I would also say that if my beliefs at the fundamental level collided with logic and reason...it would not be Truth from God...but my own deception and misunderstanding. I have yet to find that in my fundamental understanding of Christianity...and as always I am grateful for anyones insight into this...atheist, theist or pantheist.

C.S. Lewis discusses this in Mere Christianity...Book 2: chapter 2, 3-5th paragraph abouts...he says "Reality, in fact, is usually not something you could have guessed."

There are a lot of spoon fed depictions and caricatures of God, religion and faith in the world of media now a days...do you really think it is a fair and accurate representation?

God, I think I like writing to you :)
