“I’ve been reading some of the prophets and at the core of their message is something I didn’t get in church but is like what my brother, Frank, preached with his politics: ‘Learn to do good.’ ‘Devote yourselves to justice.’ ‘Aid the wronged.’ That’s a higher power. And I need one. I cannot believe in god, but I can believe that the world has a higher power and that power is justice. And I can choose to be part of a people who have kept that idea alive for five thousand years.
