"The hero of my tale, whom I love with all the strength of my soul, whom I have tried to set forth in all his beauty, and who has always been, and always will be most beautiful is – the truth."
~Leo Tolstoy

“Life without prejudice, were it ever to be tried, would soon reveal itself to be a life without principle. For prejudices, as we have seen earlier, are often built-in principles. They are the extract which the mind has made of experience.”

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
~John Keats, from Endymion

"Christianity does not hold the resurrection to be one among many tenets of belief. Without faith in the resurrection there would be no Christianity at all. The Christian church would never have begun; the Jesus movement would have fizzled out like a damp squib with His execution. Christianity stands or falls with the truth of the resurrection.
Once disprove it, and you have disposed off Christianity. Christianity is a historical religion. It claims that God has taken the risk of involving Himself in human history, and the facts are there for you to examine with the utmost rigour. They will stand any amount of critical investigation."
~Michael Green, Man Alive, p. 61.
If Christ himself on the cross, right before his death said "Father, why have you forsaken me?", then what could the apostles have felt or thought after his death?
Christianity is not just a religion, it's God's continual revelation.
