1/ Like many I have a complicated relationship to God - not sure what to believe, want a naturalistic explanation for it all, & go back and forth on interpretations of some transformative personal events. But I found this beautiful & useful. And I know, from years back...https://twitter.com/SpencerKlavan/status/1222649533756100608 …
I have accepted God as real, and I've accepted that Christianity is a fully realized, existential stance to all of the limits of the human condition. The problem I run into isn't God or physics - it's history, being able to affirm the events of the Gospels as historically true.

So, like, these stories are really important - they point to the more-than-life, but I just can't say I find them plausible as historical propositions. And it's pretty obvious that Christianity did not just drop down as a revelation from heaven.

It's a finally tuned machine made up of works by wiser, smarter and saintlier men than me. BUT... religion seems to work better for people who *believe* in the *literal* truth of at least some solid core events.
