i really enjoyed this article, especially this. "I'm tired of people who think reality will fit into the narrow confines of human vision, as if three dimensions and the speed of light are ideas big enough to hold everything, as if the poems of our hearts and the wind of our spirits can be crammed into the perfect cubes of empiricism."
i'm taking a Biblical ethics class this semester and the 'paradoxes' of christianity have been mentioned a lot (such as, what we often see as opposing, mercy and justice, the lion and the lamb...etc) Rob Bell states, "It's not so much that the Christian faith has a lot of paradoxes. It's that it is a lot of paradoxes. And we cannot resolve a paradox, we have to let it be what it is."
