Great article. Reminds me of a time in my life long ago. I was full of myself. I thought theology could be attained through deductive and inductive reason alone. Yet, the harder I worked to grasp my "religion," the more elusive it was. It was like like trying to pick up one of those balloon-like toys filled with some jellotonous goo... the harder you try to pick it up, the more it squeezes out of your hand. I was wrong. I gave up my intellectual quest. I listened to the question "Do you believe in me? in my Son Jesus?" The answer was trivially either "yes" or "no." I said "yes" and the riddle of theology was finally solved in a second. "God is complete."
