Augustine, praying to God:
βThis is the happy life, and this alone: to rejoice in you, about you and because of you. This is the life of happiness, and it is not to be found anywhere else.β
TRUE
"So that is the outline of the official storyβ
ββ
the tale of the time when God was the under-dog and got beaten, when he submitted to the conditions he had laid down and became a man like the men he had made, and the men he had made broke him and killed him. This is the dogma we find so dullβ
ββ
this terrifying drama of which God is the victim and hero.
If this is dull, then what, in Heavenβs name, is worthy to be called exciting?" -- Dorothy Sayers
