It interests me that, even 2000 years later, Jesus is a pretty extraordinary figure. Consider what he prescribes: absolute, total, unyielding devotion to God. You don't HAVE to give up everything, sell all your possessions, and be poor to follow God. But IF that's what it takes, you'd better fucking do it. Anything, every single thing, that gets in the way of you devoting yourself to God completely and totally needs to be thrown out of your life. Devote yourself to God no matter what, because darkness is ahead and only the devoted will be saved.

It's really incredibly radical, even today. The idea of such an extreme and uncompromising devotion to God seems as alien to us as it must have to the people of Roman Israel.

Jesus is great and good and beautiful. He is absolutely real. He is the Master of this world, but He is also humble, meek, and kind. He fasted, and suffered, and wept, and died, but He is also God of the universe, Lord of all Creation. He is so good that to think of Him brings me to tears. He is mighty and stern, but also gentle and kind. He is absolutely perfect, everything anyone could ask for in someone to follow. I absolutely believe in Him, and I would die for Him. He is the ultimate proof that God is not wicked, or cruel, or capricious. Instead, God is good, and loves us, and wants the best for all mankind. Jesus Christ offers comfort and joy to all who follow Him, and he demonstrates His power through the continued efficacy of His Church, and the everlasting message of His Gospel.

He is absolutely real. Don't be afraid to seek Him out. If you have no familiarity with Christianity, you cannot begin to fathom how powerful, and how wonderful, Christ is.

They're "Catholic," in that they find it convenient to think of themselves that way culturally, but they don't go to Mass, don't receive the Sacraments, and don't actually believe in the Resurrection.

They'll go into the fire with the other atheists at the Second Coming. Unless they repent and regain their faith, of course.

>tfw your goal is to create great Catholic literature

It's my primary motivation as a writer. I want to write things that glorify God and show the goodness of the created order. I hope I've been able to achieve that, to some degree.

Christ is risen, OP.

Islam is blasphemy. Islam is heresy. Islam lies and defames Christ. Islam should be bloodily cut out of the world, or, perhaps, should be resisted carefully until Christ Himself returns in glory and puts an end to it, once and for all.

It's devilry. The voice Muhammed heard is Satan, or some other vicious force of the universe. It is the greatest wickedness ever perpetuated on Christendom, but it must be resisted and ignored and combated, to the end of time, when it will be revealed as the lie it is.
