For 98,000 years, heaven watches down not caring. And then says 2,000 years ago, ‘It’s time to intervene. Why don’t we give god a son and murder him cruelly in an illiterate part of the Middle East? That ought to solve it.’ That’s what you have to believe in order to be a Christian. Well, I invite you to believe it, but I can’t envy you. The sheer strenuousness, the unbelievable contempt for evidence, the fantastic indifference to everything that humanity has actually succeeded in finding out about itself and its cosmos… that you need to keep this little cult alive. All the same, thanks for having me.
