Jesus Christ is 'the grand summation with the infinite number of variables.' You don't have to know all the variables to know that 'the equation is balanced,' but–once you find some of them out (as the human mind is wont)–your connection to God is slightly-broken until such time as all the variables you know find their balance.

Don't get me wrong; your 'Picasso' is just as 'beautiful' whether it's the original rendering or a copy reproduced from an instantaneous ink-stamp, but the man who renders stroke-by-stroke knows the canvas better than the person who Xeroxes it like a machine.
