Review # 1 was written on 2015-02-03 00:00:00 Christopher Gagliardi Peter: ... what would Jesus Christ do with us all here, would you say? Lenny: I'll tell you exactly what he'd do, he'd close down every church and chapel, temple and tabernacle in the whole island, put them to the torch, burn them into rubble, turf the congregations out priests and pastors face first, and drive them up into the mountains, up the boniest, bleakest stretches of the Sperrins and the Mournes, and he'd flay them into the rock, until the Christianity was scourged out of the very marrows of their bones, he'd expunge religion once and for all from off the face of this country, until the people could discover no mercy except in each other, no belief except to believe in each other, no forgiveness but what the other would forgive, until they cried out in the dark for each other and embraced their own humanity... that's the only redemption he'd offer them. Never mind believing in Jesus Christ. That's the point at which Jesus Christ might just begin to believe in us. 243
