A really interesting interview of Reza Aslan on The Daily Show:
I thought Jon Oliver’s comments were really insightful:
“I like this man. I liked the guy who was the day laborer, who was probably illiterate who was a radical nationalist. I like this guy. I like him a whole lot me than the bird statue. He means more to me. You can have a personal relationship with this man and I have to wonder what the hell he would feel about “touchdown Jesus.” I wonder if this guy would be like ‘What is that? It seems sacrilegious but it’s also it’s kind of great.'” – Jon Oliver
I wonder if in focusing so much on the divinity of God, we’ve lost the humanity that reaches out to so many people.
Adding Reza Aslan’s book to my Wish List.
