The key points in this "speaking":

• Do religious beliefs inhabit the same epistemological sphere as scientific or historical facts?
• God as “Santa Claus" vs. the God beyond atheism, theism, and all categories of belief or disbelief
• Jesus as archetype of paradox, truth, and love incarnate.
• Anything true is already here, always present, and always happening. Religious truth claims should not be essentially historic or predictive.
• Can there be religion beyond historical claims to authority?
