My dad lives in the world of theological academia. He reads books written by guys just like him. And he contends that you have to read a book 3 times before you really get the guts out of it.
My contention is that those men are simply bad writers. Brilliant thinkers. But simply bad communicators.
If it takes you 3 times to explain your point, MAYBE the point is SO above human thought that it confounds reason. But maybe it's just because you're wordy.
This is not a life update. This is a place where people are free to think.

I had to read your post 3 times before I understood your point!! :-)
crap. :)
I've heard a person typically hears the gospel seven times before making a decision. Is the gospel bad writing or after hearing something again and again we finally realize it's value.
how about this as an example. i bet 1 out of 10 chuchgoers really understand the roots of Communion. It's not that it's so unfathomable. It's that people pass down clunky understandings of it.
Likewise, I think the gospel message is often poorly communicated.
I for one would like to defend bad writing. After all, I do it all the time at my own blog.
How else are the untrained to break into the world of expression without mumbling like Mayor Daley?
the truly untrained (not well-thought out thinkers like yourself) should start slow with single sentences.
