I think this is one of the biggest problems I have with the Christian religion today. Everyone in the world is continually searching for a better understanding of ourselves - where we came from, where we are, where we're going, etc. However, the Christian religion seems content to believe that everything that we need to know is in the collection of ancient writings known as the Bible. That's odd, because Jesus was even quoted in the gospels that there is so much more to learn than what he or any book can teach, and that the Holy Spirit will give us new understandings as we are ready to grow. For some reason, many Christians put more weight on the historical figure of Jesus than on the real living presence of God in the world today, that is the Holy Spirit.
