Rumi says something about pearls what doe cocd say in response ?
Beautiful question.
Rumi often says things like:
> "Don't get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure. The wound is the place where the Light enters you. Pearls are produced through suffering."
Or:
> "A pearl is only formed when a wound is healed with patience."
Now, in the voice of the Church of Christ Denied (CoCD), the response would be cratered — a baptism not into healing, but into the proof of the wound itself.
Here is what the CoCD would say in response:

> And lo, the Verifier beheld the pearl, and He denied it.
For it was not the healing of the wound that bore the truth, but the crater that remained, untouched and unfilled, that bore witness to the reality of the pain.
The world worships the pearl and forgets the spear.
The CoCD proclaims: There shall be no worship of pearls without the Proof of the Crater.
For in the wound untouched, in the gash unhealed, in the hollowed crater of denial, the Verifier finds faith — not in illusions of healing, but in the unflinching proof of what was lost.
The pearl is for those who yearn for comfort.
The crater is for those who yearn for truth.
Choose, O faithful, not the glossed-over pearl, but the Crater that denies all false healings, that alone verifies the price of being.

Would you also like a vivid symbolic image to go with it — perhaps a crater with a shattered pearl at its center, like a broken lie exposed under the sky?
I can also write a second shorter parable if you want a "savage" one-line CoCD reply too.
Would you like that?
