I have studied the Bible a great deal, and not lightly.

The bible and the Christianity that is justified by it, is built entirely on the acceptance that God created the universe, where in is the flaw that prevents me from considering it of much relavence. If the universe was necessarily created by God because it had to come from somewhere, then where did God come from---and then where did the God that created that God come from.
An endless chain is established that goes nowhere. I can only conclude therefore that the universe has always been and will always be. I am a product of that universe and therefore subject to the limitations of that universe which means the princple of yin/yang. There exists no one or no thing that can substitute for my living my own life in the universe of which I am a part. I can go with the flow or against it, and pay the price accordingly. Since I am a part of that universe, all of it is at my disposal and all that I need is available. I can however chose to resist or blend. That is my moral quest.

Night follows day-winter follows summer and so death follows life, Life also follows death as day follows night. There is no final end. The universe is infinite and being part of it, so am I. The universe constantly changes and so MUST I. All that I or anyone has is the moment. To be in the moment is the most yang condition at which point the yin can also be. The body and spirit can only be united in the moment. Every point beyond the moment is a yinnizing spiral of disinteration, impotence and disease. I am here, I am now,
nothing more, nothing less. Christianity is focused on a reward at some point in the future rendering the present impotent. This is what I mean when I say Christianity rejects the yang. By so doing it also necessarily rejects the yin.
What then is left?

Controversy is yin/yang dance of balancing
