I guess I would prefer God reveal the TRUTH to me if he is going to manifest a substantial revelation through me.

I am a little old to believe in Santa.

None of the parables that Christ told were historical. Not a single one of them ever happened. Are they any less true?

I am not saying that truth is relative, mind you. I am saying that truth is more than merely historical. And that for a Christian in the Middle Ages, the *symbol* of St. Francis bearing the wounds of Christ was more important than the exact *location* of those wounds.
