Metaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there.
Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there and shouting “I found it!”"

"That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."

Matt.13:35

.
"In the imagery of the gospels, the Satan that Jesus resisted and finally conquered is a personification of the victimizing mechanism and the symbol of the insidious force with which it sneaks up on us from behind and takes possession of us in all our endeavors. The principal act of Jesus and of the gospel writers was their exposing of this hidden force. This, for René Girard, is the truth that makes us free--or can do so, if we relive in the conversion of our own hearts, the realization the gospels try to share with us."

Eugene Webb.
