Religion as Parable?

What do you do when religion lets you down — but you're not ready to walk away from faith entirely?Paul was betrayed by religion and nearly gave up on faith. What brought him back wasn't a proof or an argument. It was learning to see the world's religions — including Christianity — as parables. Earthly stories with a heavenly meaning. Not claiming to contain the truth on the surface, but pointing beyond themselves toward something real.And at the center of those parables? A single, recurring question: Is love real?In this video, Paul explores the perennial tradition, why getting bogged down in historicity misses the point, and how trusting the parable — even when you can't prove it — has brought him a peace that guides him through the struggles of life.📖 Chapters: 0:00 Betrayed by religion 1:10 What is a parable? 2:30 The parable of love across world religions 4:00 Why historicity isn't the test 5:20 The perennial tradition 6:00 Finding peace without proof #faith deconstruction#faithjourney #spiritualawakening #faith #spiritualgrowth #progressivechristianity
