What's the meaning of life? What is heaven like? What's the cover charge? These are the ultimate questions of mankind, and yet nobody thought to ask Jesus while he was here. The Bible is disappointing in so many ways - small text, no pictures, conflicting messages about who to stone or not stone - but here's the part that's most troublesome. Here we had the son of God in our hands and we let him get away without any answers.
What did we learn from the man? I dare say not much we didn't already know. Don't murder? Way to clear up the confusion. Don't steal, don't covet, water is a solid, claim your parents have never had sex, de-thorn your crown before wearing, and your closest friends are gonna sell you out. Pretty obvious stuff. What did we not learn? Everything important.
If we're going to vet the President, we should do the same for God. Anyone claiming to be God better have good, specific and satisfying answers to these questions or they're out. It's hard enough asking for proof in this day and age, or pondering the eternal questions, but why in God's name didn't someone do it back then?
