>In one of Graham Greene's late novels, "Monsignor Quixote", the eponymous priest tells Sancho (of course) that he had the most horrible dream the night before. He says in his dream Jesus Christ returned to earth and proved incontrovertibly that he was who he said he was, the savior / god who Christians have held faith in ever since. The monsignor says this horrified him because he no longer felt a purpose in life.

Same as the tale of the Great Inquisitor within the Karamazov Brothers. Come the boss, you're out of business.

Until then, the Christian priests must be the happiest bureaucrats on Earth, seeing their boss crucified every day.
