Explain someone's philosophy to a Kindergartner or 1st Grader.

The word of God to men. The ladder to transcendent, higher reality. The way to make sense of the wild, indescribable things we experience according to faith.

It is as though we lived in a cave all our lives, and men came down to tell us of the sun, but we did not believe them. But then, one day, a man came with a sledgehammer, and battered a hole in the ceiling of the cave, letting in the sun so that it might bathe us all with its radiance. We hated the man for blinding us, but in hindsight, how could we help but love him? The sun is beautiful.
