Yesterday while I was prepping for class and my son was doing his homework, my son said to me, “Mom, I don’t understand religion.”
I put down my copy of The World’s Religions by Huston Smith and waited for him to continue.
He said, “In Christianity, I don’t understand if Jesus is God.”
I said, “Babe, you have no idea how many people have died over that very question.”
This was not the answer he was hoping for.

I'm just now reading Why Religion Matters by Smith; I teach religion, and he's great.
