пишет в "Слезах и святых" (перевeла с румынского Ilinca Zarifopol-Johnston):
Competing with Jesus, the saints' excesses repeat Golgotha, adding to it the refinements of torture gleaned from subsequent Christian centuries. Christ's crown of thorns, imitated by the saints, caused more suffering in the world than I don't know how many incurable diseases. Jesus was, after all, the saints' incurable disease. ...
Jesus is responsible for so much suffering. His conscience must weigh on him very heavily, since he no longer gives any signs of life. To tell the truth, he does not stand comparison with his followers. In them, his heavenly passion has become a virus. Instead of roses, they gave us thorns. I don't know any bigger sin than that of Jesus.
