No Quick Answers
Religion
should not be giving you explanations or quick answers, which is what
we kind of expect—we type something into Google and up comes the answer.
Instead, religion should help you to live with questions for which
there are no answers, like cruelty and pain and suffering and death,
capitalism and injustice. It should teach us to live with these
questions so that whatever horror or sorrow or dukkha is going on out
there, you can live with it creatively, not turn your back to it.
