“Reading the Bible like we read the Quran”

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn knew evil and gross injustice up close, personally.  This insightful comment of his should never be forgotten:

“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”  (The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956)
