About Me
- David
- I'm a regular, middle-aged guy from the N. Texas suburbs. Center-Left (with some, non-crazy, Libertarian-ish tendencies), INFP, Progressive Christian (Episcopalian tribe). This is where I write about technology, politics, culture, religion, and other things I pretend to know something about. The site is called The Knowledge Box not out of an inflated sense of my own mental capacity, but because it is the humorous (and slightly sarcastic) nickname I received from my wife and son for my vast store of semi-useless trivial knowledge.

Hey there David
But here's my question...I hope I describe this well...
If one doesn't have to be this specific thing that is sometimes given the label "Christian" then why not just be something else, like a pagan or whatever?
Is the nature of Christ a specific Jewish rabbi who lived in first century Palestine, or is the Christ any vehicle of Divine grace, even if that vehicle takes the form of the wild green woods and the sunrise on the solstice and a walk on the seashore, etc?
What do you think?
Tracie the Red
Indeed...why not ? One reason I'm Episcopalian is that, quite frankly, it enables me to approach the Divine in a way that is culturally relevant to me (as a product of Western Culture).
For me, the second person of the Trinity is more in the "divine vehicle" mode, not of the "worship a specific, 1st cent. Jewish rabbi" kind.
You give me pause to think, David.
