Humanity's Hope

Socrates:

Here's the score board, however you look at it.

Most people in America claim to believe that a human
being has walked on water, not in context, but
that it actually, really, TRULY happened. That
the story in the synoptic gospels is EXACTLY what
happened. I certainly don't believe that, and I
know you don't. Not because you are not Christian
but because your job is to be the truthful and honest
American. Where, then, lies the salvation of a people,
Socrates, who ignore the works of a man that are adjudged
by the talented to be a thousand times more important
than Homer, but pay heed to the STORIES of him told
when superstition was rampant and answers eluded us
concerning some of the more important elementaries of
nature. This human need to identify with a group of
"saved" people, despite not being "saved" from anything,
is the bad news. The good news we can speak of later,
for the bad news is currently, sir, relevant.
