Another excellent J&M this week. I often find it interesting to play back these simplified distillations of well known mythologies to our religious brothers and sisters when in conversation on the subject. It's usually responded to with a lot of huffing and puffing but little actual refutation or counter argument. Most of the time you get a look that says "you don't understand", which is quite possibly true, but the crux of the matter is that the believer can't explain it either! A position I hold, and would defend, would be that "Theology" (in all it's forms) is in fact the study of the unknowable, a archaic sub-set of anthropology and the interpretation of historical literary fiction.
