A ‘non-religious’ view of Dietrich Bonhoeffer -- #93

[December 1999 journal entry]

Moving from ‘religious’ to ‘non-religious’ is analogous
  1. to moving from childhood to adulthood re ‘Santa Claus’ language/ideas,
  2. to Toto pulling the curtain back on the truth about the wizard in The Wizard of Oz,
  3. to the small child saying what the adults dared not say in The Emperor’s New Clothes story.
