Christians are oddly uncomfortable with the humanity of Christ.
I do not know the man.
I am more comfortable with the God. The man speaks to me not in
solemn commands, in law and majesty, but the touch of a hand, a
baby crying, a death, and expects me to hear and obey these
voices of need and friendship as if they were the voice of God...
I do not know the man.
I do not want to know the human, the provisional and ironic, tears
and laughter, the future still to make...Take us away from all this;
like the ultimate romantic hero, sweep us into the world of
distant panoramas, magical controls, solved problems. I do not
what to be forced back to the earth where I must choose and
travel and be hurt.
