No more, no less. No need to rationalize any of this.
"However" is BUT another expression of "I"
Since you approached it a you did, surely you see I am not seeking to
serve as evangelist or apologist for a religion I do not follow. This
itself is a koan of sorts, but it presents no question and needs no answer.
As you say, you have "met". Even coming face to face, such recognition
is always limited to the superficial, to appearances, to understandings.
Don't settle for some position and become stuck there. Don't know, and
cling to the corpse of old ideas. Don't take this as advice. I am not
offering you anything.

I've being sitting and have used your statement above as a koan.
rather than try to rationalise it, and we have a meeting of mind.
Thanks for pointing it out to me.
However (there's always a "however"), with that being so, that makes
it even less of a 'requirement' for me to become acquainted with
Christianity or the Bible. We've already met.
