Conversations with a wise man.

Talking is a powerful thing, well, dialog at least. Because there really is no better way to develop ideas than by sharing thoughts.

Now let's just just to the chase after that gray area, here's some black and white:

1. I do not believe that Torah was written by the hand of God. Inspired by God, sure, but I've always thought that was kind of a cop out anyway.
2. I do believe in a God that is all encompassing, all powerful, all knowing, and one at once.
3. Yet, if I do not believe Torah is God's own work, why would I believe in the God of Torah, a perception of divinity created by human beings?
4. I should not is the simple conclusion.
   

I do not believe in the God of Torah in the sense that I do not believe God would manifest Itself as a burning bush never to be consumed. I think that is just a metaphor, a good one at that, but a metaphor. For God to be everything and one, It cannot be one place and not another, that is not a possibility. That's basically why I cannot believe in the God of Torah as God Itself.

Still though, can't help but think that in another time I would be killed for idolatry. Thank the Lord for Post-Modernism.
