[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the minister's book review linked above. It uses the well-worn metaphor of fingers pointing to the moon. But God is not the moon. [b]Marcus Borg is a Christian heretic[/b]. Read at your own risk. [/quote]

In your opinion.  There are lots of different kinds of Christians and many admire him greatly.[/quote]

+1.  Geez.  The fire and brimstone people are so tedious.[/quote]
Just like the new-thought "Christians" and the Horus/Mithras/Osiris folks. Someone is wrong. Are you sure you know who it is?[/quote]

Or maybe none/all of them are wrong.

I think of religion as being like the pictures a little child draws of their mother.  All of them are "true" in that they are the closest representation a child can make, and drawn to reflect the child's love.  But they aren't exactly accurate, unless the mom has arms growing out of her ears, or eyes almost as big as her head.

Having an image of God in my mind helps me focus my prayers, but that doesn't mean it's perfectly accurate or give me the right to judge people who use an other image. [/quote]
I love this outlook, PP.
