Easter, anyone?

Arguably the second biggest Christian holiday is about to take place:
Easter.

However, Easter is not CLOSE to being agreed upon based on Barna's research (at the above link), and if we are so divided on the meaning of this Christian holiday, why should we be surprised that we are divided - deeply divided - on other areas of presumed Christian doctrine?

I've been reading from Christians at all spectrums of belief, and have realized, like countless others before me, that we all have a bite at the apple of "truth." The reality is that we all have a taste of truth, and that no one has gathered the fruit of knowledge completely.

The question is whether we are willing to share our visions of truth in service of a larger picture, or whether we will be exclusive in proclaiming a once and only truth - or as Stephen Colbert might explain, a once and only "truthiness."  God help us if 'truthiness' is our goal.
