Eye run knee.
No, I won’t, not can’t, because it would be futile.
I guess you could say reality is symbolic of reality. (‘The only thing’ is that I am quite happy about all of them. ; - ) What you are ‘telling’ me is that you are kidding yourself.
The biggest thing you’re missing is the reality. There are facts imputing unmistakable meaning (to those who are not denialists) to the time and placing of events – here are only a few. The aforementioned Co-instants Log contains four decades of co-instances (my substitute terms for coincidence, as opposed to Jung’s godless ‘synchronicities’) in my life and a couple of decades of retrospective entries before that.
Too bad for them because the reality of participatory experience is way more fun than mere philosophizing and conjecture. You’re a Brit, right? Maybe you are familiar with George Müller, an amazing man of God who founded several orphanages in the nineteenth century (I love that face! ; - )… he experienced the reality and documented the facts:
I’m glad you quoted that because it’s true and worth seeing, but to what end I don’t know because it’s another non sequitur since you don’t believe it. And citing Jesus is again silly because so much of what he said you discard.
The main reason Jesus was killed, in big picture, the ‘VFA’’, the view from above, not losing the forest for the trees in the ‘VFB’, the view from below, the main reason was to save his people from their sins so they could be adopted into his Father’s family for eternity.
