I’ve thought of my faith so often as I’ve grown older, and I admit that I’m not certain what I really believe about any of it anymore. And, frankly, I’m not sure it matters. If the message of Christ led me to try to be a more generous human being, does it matter whether he was the Messiah or a prophet? If people are empathetic and charitable, does it matter whether they believe in a God who somehow began, or engineered, or oversees us all?
