John Irving Quote
As often as I feel certain that God exists, I feel as often at a loss to say what difference it makes—that He exists—or even: that to believe in God, which I do, raises more questions than it presents answers. Thus, when I am feeling my most faithful, I also feel full of a few hard questions that I would like to put to God—I mean, critical questions of the How-Can-He, How-Could-He, How-Dare-You variety. For example, I would like to ask God to give us back Owen Meany, Mr. Merrill said; when he spread his arms wide, the fingers of his right hand were dancing again in the beam of light. O God—give him back, give him back to us! Pastor Merrill asked. It was so quiet in Hurd’s Church,
