Dateline 2012 This time in the last presidential election cycle (February 2012) I was reading Gore Vidal’s Julian.
In it one character describes Christianity
as a “hysteria which vacillates between [the] murder of heretics on the one hand and
a cringing rejection of the world on the other.”
Neither hand can be traced back to Jesus. Both are inventions of men (claiming to be his followers) that lust after purity. By definition, purity is absolute. In the pursuit of the absolute, madness will follow.
