There has been nothing more impactful on my life and meaningful to me than the introduction of Christ. That, hands down, blows away every joke I've ever written.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Bible has no doubt had much influence in its time, but it provides very few laughs. None, in fact.
No other single influence has had so great an impact on this earth as the life of Jesus the Christ.
I know for myself how the fruits of the gospel of Jesus Christ can transform lives from the ordinary and dreary to the extraordinary and sublime.
The gospel is entirely a message about what someone else has done not only for me but also for the renewal of the whole creation.
What's funny about Jesus' Son is that I never even wrote that book, I just wrote it down. I would tell these stories and people would say, You should write these things down.
Personally I find the story of Christ incredibly moving.
There have been low moments before, but Christianity is an incredibly adaptable organism, using different parts of its repertoire to mutate into new ecological niches, yet preserving intact its story of grace, of love improbably triumphant.
I can't imagine a more fulfilling thing for a writer than that you've made a strong impact on the lives of other people. Just because I've heard it before does not mean I don't want to hear it one more time.
I took religion much too seriously, however, and its overall effect was depressing. I would have really liked to discard it, but somehow I couldn't.
The total absence of humor from the Bible is one of the most singular things in all literature.
