Your Theology Doesn't Even Come Close: Change My Mind
Cartoon Description: God is sitting at a table drinking a coffee. The sign in front of God's table says, "Your theology doesn't even come close. CHANGE MY MIND."
I do remember the exact moment when I realized my thoughts are not what they think about.
It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life.
The word is not the thing.
Neither is the thought.

I remember the day I realized that no one has ever seen or heard a word. We make squiggles on paper – but that just represents a word. It is NOT the word. Or – we transmit sound waves across the air. Not the words. Yet, these both magically trigger words inside our minds. How did they get there? Why are mine not always identical to anyone elses? Little wonder the bible refers to god as Logos. So much mystery there.
