In Speaking Of Jesus, I Must Speak

I Am Pleased Now That I Have Lived In A Gay As Well As A Religious Ghetto, Though It Hasn't Been Very Comfortable. Taken Together, Their Limitations Cancel Each Other Out And I Have Seen The World More Kindly And More Honestly.

I Have Ended As A Reform Rabbi, Grateful To Christianity For So Many Good Things.

For Some Years I Deserted Religion In Favour Of Marxism. The Republic Of Goodness Seemed More Attainable Than The Kingdom Of God.

My Mother Was A Modern Woman With A Limited Interest In Religion. When The Sun Set And The Fast Of The Day Of Atonement Ended, She Shot From The Synagogue Like A Rocket To Dance The Charleston.

I Began To See That My Problems, Seen Spiritually, Were Really My Soul's Plusses.
