You can use metaphorical truth to explain deeper truths. I don't think the term can be applied to everything. I just use the general term spiritual to describe the various paths people find themselves on.
The contradictions are not really important from a universalist perspective It's the fact they believe in something. You can connect to the spiritual through any meansbut you can't take them all as literal truth.
My friend Cody told me I should check out this site and seeing how he used Lorgar I thought I would stick with the 40k theme.
Cody said I should give a shout out to @A Greased Scotsman @1137 @Rival @CogentPhilosopher
There are you happy now? @Lorgar-Aurelian
