With humor and insight, Mr. Modine touches on topics that are critical for our times. Well, for all times. But let’s say for our times, since here we are. We can see the results of rampant selfishness all around us, and it is not a pretty picture. When we use aggression in the name of any God, we are being ignorant or hypocritical, or we have been manipulated. It is sinful, it is blasphemy, and we might think about checking our intentions more often. I’m a Buddhist who has great respect for JC. For the Real JC, the one described here. Thank you for publishing this.

great article Matthew. I had the opportunity to spend some time in China last December. I fell in love with the people and the country. I left with many more questions than answers. As for JC we have a lot to learn from his example. I appreciate Your insight to the man.

I like Mr. Modine’s article because it is as selfless as the subject matter. I grew up in the Mormon faith and had the elders taught with such an unbiased approach I may have paid some attention. I’m reminded of a Morrissey lyric, “It’s so easy to laugh, it’s so easy to hate, it’s takes grit to be gentle and kind.” Nice work publishing this. I tip my hat to you sir.
