it's really not about whether you worship one god or many gods, or about what happens after you die.
It's about words.
Whether you believe that words are the most important thing- "in the beginning there was the Word" Or whether words and logic are a trick, a puzzle, like Zen Buddhism believes. That's a fundamental conflict of religion that i don't think has been explored before.
Zen koans don't make any sense because that's the point. The point is that words are flawed. Language is a trick. It's supposed to get you to realize language is an inadequate system for describing the world.
i know- i'm using words. Words still can have value as a pointer, a reference to experiences.
i feel like a teenager. i know everything. i'm completely sober.
