[CHALLENGE: GRAPH GURU]

Even non-math fiends can appreciate a clever Venn diagram. Combine a few circles with key words and you get a pretty powerful statement. And there's also the challenge of trying to turn something highly personal into an equation or diagram. So here goes:

Consider your beliefs, disbeliefs, or jury-is-still-out stance about God. Sum it up Venn diagram-style. Take a photo. Link to it below.

@celesteditter It's also important to remember that many, many aspects of truth are subjective. Most world religions agree on a few objective truths (the existence of a Divine Being, His/Her/Its involvement in the world, central prophets and their followings, a few key precepts), but the daily guidelines by which we all live our lives are indeterminate, of our own creations, our own personal truths. Ideally, I'd like to believe in the existence of an absolute truth, something that all religion and spirituality continually strives to understand and make known; in practice, I know that many things that the religion I grew up in (Christianity) asserts as absolute truth are absolutely not, and cannot be, true for me.

I think it is important to remember, we can make up exactly what we want to believe and live by it, but that doesn't make it true.
