Do you have any nice that you remember from that book?

It seemed to me at least as balanced as what is presented by the average evangelist. No way to get around it, it's a pretty bloody book. I remember asking a priest, during confirmation classes, why an omnipotent God had to have his son crucified to redeem humanity. If he willed them redeemed, would it not be so? I mean, who damned them (a bit arbitrarily, I must say) in the first place? The answer was something like "shut up and believe, who are you to question God". I recall thinking "I'm not questioning God, I'm questioning you". I actually didn't believe in God by that time, though I hadn't yet developed the strength to admit it to myself.
