I was not allowed a physical lover. Falling in love with Love was the best I could get.
From Lionel Blue
I learnt pity, sympathy, and what it was like to be at the other end of the stick. Such lessons can't be learnt in lecture halls.
Christianity had two faces which bewildered me - two pictures which didn't fit.
Because of my Marxism, I was not into myths or miracles, whether it was the virgin birth, the physical resurrection or casting out demons from an epileptic.
For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God.
For a Christian, Jesus is the unique and only way that God has fully revealed himself. For a Jew this cannot be.
