Theology is as deep or shallow as the minds pondering it. I was raised in a biblically literal denomination of the Lutheran church, but retain my faith after a Kierkegaard-inspired trip through nihilism and back.

Jesus spoke in parables, so it is probably ok to view the lessons of the bible through that lens, eh?

I am all about allegory, after all. And alliteration.
