“If a Messiah were born in this day, the three populations that would be nearly assured of overlooking or obliterating her would be those who identify as Christians, Jews, or Muslims. Moderns will assert their words and defend their categories to the death; of everything, they seem to hope.

But who, we might ask might be capable of such recognition? Children. The elderly. The injured. The sick. Animals and plants. Those who were cast down by every false God that rules in human culture. Those whose relationships and lives were shattered by serving fictions. And those who, without religion of any kind whatsoever, live and express the spirit of the divine, which is the spirit of communion and intelligence.”
