Parables
Why did Christ tell so many parables?
Maybe it has something to do with, I don't know, figuring things out on your own?

An angel walks into a bar and sits down. Just then a drunk stumbles over and says "Hey angel, what's the meaning of life?"
The angel chuckles then turns completely serious and looks him straight in the eye and says "You are."

ever since I left religion and re-examined everything. You are the first and only person I have ever heard express this idea besides myself. And not only "figuring things out on your own"... but they are mini exercises in READING LIFE. Recognizing meaning, sign, and symbol in the everyday occurances and unfoldings of YOUR OWN Life story, and of the Life story at large... as the nature of all things speaks personally to us in each and every unfolding season. The Meaning in Life is always a matter of personal insight and interpretation. The Kingdom of God is Within. All of Life is a Parable. The "hisstory" of the world is a parable of Epic proportion.
