OK, that made me laugh. How very true it is... With all our pride and self-relience, it is still hard to imagine this embarassing thing that houses us could be the body of a god.

One important fact about him is that he is in reality the total opposite of what he sounds like. He sounds like a dry bold man however in reality he was not. He put up this act as he hated that nice part of him self! He saw life as a misery and pain after few episodes in his life than he choice to live life that way. In reality when he was a child he was called the young minster! He was truly a man that had the deepest knowledge about human mind and the reason behind the reason of our actions! They call him an atheist but he was not that. He was a seeker and he was not a blind follower! He put forward ideas to challenge the view of religion and in a way purify it and make sense of why it is what religions says!
