The Vision of Christ that thou dost see
Is my vision's greatest enemy:
Thine has a great hook nose like thine,
Mine has a sunb nose like mine. . . .
Both read the Bible day and night,
But thou read'st black where I read white.
-William Blake
It is truly difficult to understand how people can start with the same set of data and draw such varying conclusions. I guess the reality is that we don't start with the same data. Our own experience colors how we see things. Until experience is uniform, understanding will be diverse. This is why we must triumph dialog. Until I truly understand you, I will not understand your theology.
