JESUS

'It is quite useless to say that it doesn't matter particularly who or what Christ was or by whose authority He did those things, and that even if He was only a man, He was a very nice man and we ought to live by His principles: for that is merely Humanism, and if the "average man" in Germany chooses to think Hitler is a nicer sort of man with still more attractive principles, the Christian Humanist has no answer to make.'
Dorothy L Sayers, 'Creed or Chaos?' in Creed or Chaos? p.32.
