> Going back to my roots, Christianity…
I'm a Christian "anatheist" too. Anatheism refers to a “return to” (“ana” = again) a believe in God (“theism), but not based on religious or doctrinal reasons, but rather philosophical or rational argument, or some other path.
While Christianity is a "composite" religion influenced by diverse cultural and mythological antecedents, the "logos" is inherent to the story of Christ and is of central importance to Western civilization.
Origen was the first Christian philosopher-theologian to write a systematic theology to explain how all the things taught in the Bible can be both literally and mythologically true, and showed how those truths relate to one another. Origen resurrected and revitalized the then degenerated Greek philosophy of "logos" by his exegesis of Scripture, reconciling the concerns of Irenaeus with the philosophical leanings of the apologists, and formulated the ontological status of the "logos" as mediator between God and creation and exhibits both a transcendent and an imminent aspect.
From the Gospel of John: In the beginning was the logos, and the logos was with God, and the logos was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness overcame it not.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the logos was made flesh, and dwelt among us…
