The Christian Question

If there is anyone who can ask anything of the Christian, it is the Christian himself. The conclusion is that if I allowed myself at the end of this statement to demand of you certain duties, these could only be duties that it is essential to ask of any man today, whether or not he is a Christian.

I wish to declare also that, not feeling I possess any absolute truth or any message, I shall never start from the supposition that the Christian truth is illusory, but merely from the fact that I could not accept it. Hence I shall not, as far as I'm concerned, try to pass myself off as a Christian in your presence. I share with you the same revulsion from evil. But I do not share your hope, and I continue to struggle against this universe in children continue to suffer and die...
