The World Turned Upside Down
Life in a post-Yankees universe.
(Page 2 of 2)
It reminds me of conversations I've had with an old atheist friend of mine. He has often quibbled with those who express the well-worn sentiment that "Everything happens for a reason." He doesn't believe things happen for any reason, and neither do I, though I am no atheist.
"But if you don't believe there is any reason for anything," he asks me, "how to believe in God?"
"Because God," I say, wincing through my Catholicism, "is mostly indifferent, I think."
Neither Red Sox nor Yankees fans have ever believed such a thing. But they both may have to start getting used to the idea.
