Great quote in a comment piece on the newly-released films Biutiful and Hereafter. Both movies (starring Javier Bardem and Matt Damon) tell the stories of men who know that there’s life after death, and what it’s like.
But they keep this knowledge to themselves, which is absurd:
“Information of cosmic significance, which could bring succour and hope to millions, not to mention really irritate Richard Dawkins, is dealt with as a private and personal matter.”
The writer’s talking about two made-up film characters: what struck me is that when Christians are told that faith should be simply “a private matter”, they’re being told to do exactly the same thing.
