I had this book of liberal theology writings. It left my head spinning. Very painful to try to make sense of.

Why do people waste time studying theology? I mean the church folk. Oh yes the mysteries. The message is old and confusing.

Because life inside the mechanism is irrational. If you are expecting it to be rational you miss it. I want chocolate because I want chocolate. Yum.
