So then what is it men really understand? Isn't it that they just change one image against an other one? What do they with their 'understanding'? It gives them something to chew on or a kind of security, protecting them from a void they might otherwise fall into? With this 'understanding' they receive advices how they should behave and they can hold the 'right' attitude, holding guidelines they can follow. With this 'understanding' they can follow an authority and don't need to take self-responsibility, they can stay in dependency, trusting an imaginary picture built up from projections and unconscious needs. Holding on an infantile state of being and at the same time pretending to have reached superiority. Meeting like minded others with the same understanding and so being confirmed and strengthened in ones own or fighting against other views and so making ones own position untouchable, eliminating others views by forcing ones own ‘understanding’ on all around, gaining more power and of course using it for the ‘good for all’ and all in the name of an ‘understanding’ that was brought to men, - from where, from whom? There where the ‘understanding’ ends, there one must ‘believe’… Oh boy!
Look around in what state humanity is and where they have brought the whole planet with their ‘understanding’!
You had ask for my thoughts...

In God there are three Persons Who, by nature are incomprhensible to man. So that we could understand with our human intelligence, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity became man. He was born of Mary and named Jesus. His sole purpose in life was to show the rest of us how to live as children of God in harmony with ourselves and with each other. This is the Christian concept of God.

Sure. Most people are incapable of understanding the world without imaginary friends.

Almost clever, but it would amount to the same if Jesus weren't God.
