One of the most touching aspects of Christ is that he forgave everyone, that he showed compassion for all of humanity, that he could find within himself the wisdom to understand the motives of all the souls that were created.

However, it’s also said that Christ knew he was the son of God, that he knew there was a kingdom that was not of this world and that love and compassion were the greatest aspects of divinity.

Now, suppose that Christ suddenly realized that there was no God, suppose that Christ, in a flash of perception, felt in his own bowels, without the shadow of a doubt, that there wasn’t a God, or another life, and that human beings were all on their own, just animals with bigger brains, and that once you died you simply disappeared.

If Christ had this realization, do you think he would still maintain the same boundless compassion and love for humanity he had while he thought he was the son of God?
