400 Christian Conundrums

Now let’s consider an example of last blog’s conundrums: Christian thinking can include the general difficulties just itemized in Blog 399 and also contain, I might say, case specific difficulties. 

Such a specific difficulty could present like this: a believer may find it is hard enough (for a believer of anything) to always believe, with no ebb or flow in tempo. This difficulty is to me probably the only simple fact about the specific difficulties involved in either theology or social science.  Regardless, most people also judge, scorn and deride this idea (the idea of specific difficulties), know little to nothing about the constants of faith formation, and most often know even less about inherent variables in a belief system, much less general difficulties.

Gentle Reader, in my experience, it is only when and if one digs in and examines anything a little more thoroughly (thus my sort-out) that the subtle becomes obvious.

I hope I have addressed these points well enough for you to get my meaning here. Sometimes it does take a lot of work to distill the essence of any part of a sort-out, I assure you.
