Eso significa que cuando una persona está enferma, no debe ir al médico porque está pidiendo que se interfiera en la voluntad de Dios. Pero claro, los pacientes no pueden pensar así.

• Bueno, tomemos lo que la gente piensa que es una muerte digna. Cristo, ¿fue una muerte digna? ¿Crees que es digno colgar de un madero con clavos en las manos y los pies sangrando, colgar durante tres o cuatro días muriendo lentamente, con gente clavándote lanzas en el costado y gente burlándose de ti? ¿Crees que eso es digno? Ni por asomo. Si Cristo hubiera muerto en mi furgoneta con gente a su alrededor que le amaba, tal y como fue, sería mucho más digno. En mi furgoneta oxidada.
