For you, would the action/statement have to be "original" to be important, or could the context of a tried-and-true expression make it valuable and meaningful in a way that sets it apart from any previous example?-Shiloh
A statement wouldn't have to be original to be important. It would have to be original to set the religion apart from all others in a meaningful way.
John,
Perhaps you have accidentally brushed up against one of my foundational beliefs: It is the commonalities of the faithful that give us the best chance to see the nature God, regardless of their "religion," denomination, place of worship, where they face during prayer, how they see infant baptism or communion or prayer rags or poverty, etc.
I doubt that God is unable to speak Chinese.
