The history of no other people even faintly resembles that of the Jews in terms of their disenfranchisement, scattering, survival in the face of rejection, persecution, prejudice, genocide, and reassembling. No other people have sustained their unity for thousands of years even under the best of conditions.

If the Jews are God’s true children, and I am adopted, I am just happy that He has adopted me. Heck, I have avoided the persecution—thus far at least—they have had to absorb, but I have the same benefits as they, provided I accept and believe. I will take my part of this deal any day.

I find the concept of the "persona" to be helpful. See my book "Great Words of the Faith" - the chapter on the Trinity. Link available on my English language blog at www.crazyrev@blogspot.com (a "non-commercial" blog.)

I have long suggested that the basic alternatives are an eternal, self-existent, singularity that at some 'point' in eternity spontaneously exploded (the "big bang") and from which everything resulted; or an eternal Being Who created for His own pleasure and purposes. my book "Foundations of the Faith" deals with this in more detail. All of my books are written for 'ordinary' people! See earlier comment for links.

For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.
