Look back at history,” he said, after a minute or two. “Most
great and remarkable men weren't tame or politically correct.
They were raving loonies. They acted out. Heroes are badasses,
not alter-boys.”
“You don't think Jesus was a hero?” I asked.
“Jesus was the bad-ass,” he said, chuckling a little. “...talk
about somebody knowing how to make some noise.”
Nick confused me. Half the time what he said sounded
completely hypocritical. The other half of the time, what he said
sounded completely insane. He always had an opinion though,
no matter how nonsensical it was to me. I admired that about
him.
“You think Jesus would throw a book at someone?” I asked,
before I could stop myself.
His eyes popped open. I dropped my pen again. He sat up
straight and focused his eyes on me.
“I'm not Jesus,” he said simply.
No kidding.
