Part 351. Just musing.

Think of deconstructing your faith as being akin to taking an engine out of a car, dismantling and examining each of the parts carefully.  You have now a car without an engine and engine parts scattered over the ground.

Taking your faith and examining its constituent elements is not dissimilar. But then what? What comes next?  What fills the engine compartment? A completely new engine, an engine using parts of the old engine, or simply scrap both car and engine?

When we deconstruct what comes next: complete rejection of all that has gone before, or repurposing some of the elements, or striking out in a completely different direction? Do we move from deconstruction to reconstruction?
