i like the Sandman n associated series of stories by Neil Gaiman bout the realms of the heart, subconsious, soul n spirit..n my favourite character is not Morpheus, Lord of Dreams or even beautiful n mysterious Death, embodiment of ending n conclusions...no, my favourite character is Delirium..with her associated lack of sanity n chaotic mixin of words in complex phrases..like "wats the word for the start of somethin that is not the same as wat was there before and which u dunno wat it is?" Change..
i think dat in life we should not b so rational n logical..its not the Time of the Modern Movement anymore..the age of the machine gods of modernism is past..the age of the post-modern world of religion, spirituality n pluralism is upon humanity..
i may b Christian, but i dun believe Christianity is a by-word for the intellectual worship of the Rational Deity..nor is it the the deification of the primal forces of Revolution and Rebellion..Christianity is so much more..n in the post-modern climate of things, i can say that a Christian follows Christ thru e Bible n worships Him..but the modes of worship need not b purely rational...its time dat Christians return 2 truth n spirituality (in e Bible but) apart from intellectualism n rational logic..
see e wind in e willows? it blows leaves everywhere..i like the leaves dat blow the wind..a great house is being built by the wind...n its name is called The Bible according to Faith n with less wats-that-thing-dat-feels-like-sponge-in-my-head?oh Brains.......
The Christian message has been harmed so greatly by liberal, rational theology that doubts God's power..now with e Post-modern Movement, those who believe hav found a force as powerful 2 strike back..unleash e winds of change..

Should the faith be subject to the spirit and thinking of any age? It in itself is ageless and never out of date. It seems that it is us that bring in our own little attitudes of mind into the thing in itself.
I think Christianity should be done in the attitude of Christ-mindedness, thinking the way He did and there is really all there is to it. Modernism and Post-Modernism seem to me mistakes in either extreme directions.
