Level 8

To understand his choices you need to understand the times he lived in: for those who truly believed in trying to help the down trodden the priesthood was literally the only place. It seems to me he was just such a man a true socialist unwilling to give up helping the plight of others despite his lack of belief in the religion he was supposed to be preaching.

That's and interesting take on it and I agree.

Those who read the bible are destined to become doubters. I think there are probably way more atheist religious leaders than we are aware of, but they dare not admit... even after death since it would put their family's lives in peril.

I wanted to open your eyes, but a fear stronger than my strength suddenly held me back, and forced me to remain silent until my death.

How many times is this true?
