when the man comes around

Purposely using the Johnny Cash song as reference, despite my complete disdain for organized religion. There is this absurdist juxtaposition almost paradoxical aspect about it.

I feel this need to review the teachings of Jesus and look at it a bit more in depth. Counter to all that evangelical education I have experienced.

Maybe something secular about it all, a book or series of lectures.

Maybe even something from a more liberal religious view.

There's something in there I think. Something that can tie the sacred/secular together?? A snipe hunt for a theory of everything in a sense that unites them. Though a full reconciliation is not possible, something could be.

Reality confounds me, the reality of evolution and what is presented. That there is this spectrum for everything. That the in-between is the reality of it all. The mental gymnastics that our brain does to present this reality for us, that is enforced by our environmental experiences.  That drive to be ourself versus that drive to question it all.
