12 Days of Christmas Quotes: Day 9
I think a defining question for a Christian is: Who was
Christ? And I don't think you're let off easily by saying a great thinker or a
great philosopher, because actually he went around saying he was the Messiah.
That's why he was crucified. He was crucified because he said he was the Son of
God. So, he either, in my view, was the Son of God, or he was … nuts. Forget
rock 'n roll messianic complexes, this is like Charlie Manson type delirium.
And, I find it hard to accept that a whole millions and millions of lives, half
the earth, for two thousand years have been touched, have felt their lives
touched and inspired by some nutter.
(Bono, U2)
