The Contradictory Christ

The Original Jesus

"Here at least we shall be free; the Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence.
Here we may reign secure, and in my choice
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
- John Milton, "Paradise Lost"
🎨 Gustave Doré

"I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of 'Admin.' The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid 'dens of crime' that Dickens loved to paint.... My symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern."
- C. S. Lewis, "The Screwtape Letters"
