More on Douglas Adams and Christianity
I’ve continued to think about that Douglas Adams interview where he consistently complains about how Christianity doesn’t fit within the bounds of logic — essentially defining it all as foolishness. One of my favorite passages seems to address that quite well (via the Holman Christian Standard Bible) 1 Cor 1:21-25 — “21 For since, in God?s wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached.
22 For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom,
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles.
24 Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God?s power and God?s wisdom,
25 because God?s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God?s weakness is stronger than human strength.”
