					<description><![CDATA[I read most of the discussion you linked to.  Were those guys trying to decide what theology is best for the church or what theology is most true?
I probably shouldn&#039;t even weigh in here, since I&#039;m not Christian, (lifelong UU) but my Experience of God could probably best be described as, well, the Tao that can be described is not the Tao.  
I suspect that Jesus didn&#039;t write anything down because he didn&#039;t want it captured in writing, which kills it.  If he really had the training of a rabbi, he was most likely literate, so he could have written stuff down if he&#039;d wanted to.  Maybe that&#039;s what it meant by &quot;Jesus is the Word&quot; -- it meant &quot;Jesus IS the Word&quot; rather than &quot;Jesus is the WORD&quot;.  As in, you have Jesus, you don&#039;t need words. It can&#039;t be captured in words.  It&#039;s an example, a living of the Love, the Compassion, not the form that matters.  
I am convinced by my Experience (yes, That One), that God doesn&#039;t care what we believe.  We are called to be the best we can be and to see our Oneness and act on it as best we can.  Oops, there I go trying to put it into words again.  It&#039;s that left-brain thing....
Unfortunately, for most of us, the Experience is state-specific and hard to hang on to in normal life.  So we need religion or spirituality to recall and remind us of the Experience.  But why is it only some of us have it?  I don&#039;t know.  Maybe the whole God thing is on a need-to-know basis and we don&#039;t really need to know?  Maybe that&#039;s the important message -- God is telling us we don&#039;t really need to know, we need to figure things out for ourselves?]]></description>
