ReplyDeleteProbably because that Jesus guy said some very inconvenient things, like "Don't make a show of praying." It's kinda hard to be holier-than-thou and all if you follow that instruction.
Dostoevsky had it right when he had the Grand Inquisitor sentence Jesus to death and say, "For if anyone has ever deserved our stake, it is you." The idea of Christ is fine with the religious, but that's about it.
Still the greatest novel ever written (even better than Atlas Shrugged).
ReplyDeleteOf course, there are other contradicting Bible quotes if you want them.
ReplyDeleteThey like these bills because they give the impression that the State is telling them they can't pray. Quite a different beast from saying you want every to pray your selected prayer.
