i have started another book called “Catcher in the rye” an English classic! it’s about the period in 1950′s a 17 year old boy in NYC experienced his life expressing his rebellion, anger, confusion and exploration of values. There is this short bits which i came across…”Finally, though, i got undressed and got in bed. I felt like praying or something, when i was in bed, but i couldn’t do it. I can’t always pray when i feel like it. In the first place, I’m sort of an atheist. I like Jesus and all, but i don’t care too much for most of the other stuff in the Bible. Take the Disciples, for instance. They annoy the hell out of me, if you want to know the truth. They were all right after Jesus was dead and all, but while He was alive, they were about as much use to Him as a hole in the head. All they did was keep letting Him down.” This is soo interesting to me, as I can sort of see from this short paragraph how expressive it is expressing a lot of people’s perceptions about Jesus. They don’t dislike God, but they can’t find the relevancy of the need to seek God. And the story in the Bible and the characters in the Bible seemingly just become a character in any other story like Batman!? I also see myself in this character too. What he sees I used to see. I guess it’s in God’s hand that how many people would start to see Him later.
