Five Things I Believe 1. There is an ultimate, necessary existence in the universe, yet the final character of this ultimate defies our powers of comprehension. 3. Because we do not know the final character of the ultimate, all statements we make about it are provisional, subject to revision, certainly not worth killing others over. 4. Neither do we know our own origin or destination, whether we are “immortal souls,” whether we exist before or beyond death. 5. Given the limitation of our knowledge, our obligation is to live responsibly in this moment, making a practice of, in Jesus’ words, “doing unto others as we would have them do unto us.” ©2008, John Cunyus, All Rights Reserved. www.JohnCunyus.com |
