Clear Winter Nights: A Journey into Truth, Doubt, and What Comes After

by Trevin K. Wax

“Don’t you find it just a wee bit prejudiced to say that we’re the only ones who’ve figured out all religions are the same? All the while, there are poor, mindless Christians or Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus across the world still groping around in the dark. Poor souls. They think their religions are better.” Gil winked at Chris. “So, what are you saying? That there’s no way around it? Okay, then. Maybe I do think Christianity is better. But that still doesn’t sit well with me.” “That’s because you’re thinking of following Christ as if it’s a preference. Like having a favorite color or something. Trying to push your favorite color on someone else would make anyone uncomfortable. But at the end of the day, we don’t believe the gospel because it’s helpful. Or because it’s prettier. Or because it’s our upbringing. We believe the gospel because it’s true. Not just a preference but true. Truth about the way the world works.”
