ON THE CONTRARY, the attestation of the Gospels to difficult, troubling things like Jesus's dying lament that his Father had forsaken him MAKES ME MORE CONFIDENT IN THE HONESTY OF WHAT THEY CLAIM. It would be far easier to leave such things out, if someone was interested in making up the story they would have made it less instead of more difficult. That I don't understand what it means doesn't change that, if it were easy to understand it wouldn't have that value for me.
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE
