Problem
"Human beings from symbolic representations of the self and the world that are always partial and selective. We seek meaning and order by seeing our lives in a wider context. We identify ourselves with purposes and goals that extend beyond our own lives, temporarily and spatially. Religious traditions have provided many of the symbols through which individuals integrate conflicting desires and make sense of their lives in a more inclusive context." (138)
Following this statement, how are religious symbols and expressions selective and partial?
