Christ on the cross is a powerful message which teaches us to feel empathy for all human beings who suffer

The face of God, Good Friday, is that of a man tortured and abandoned until all hope is exhausted with all the breath of stifled by the weight of its own bruised body. It is easy to say and easy, at least for me, to feel. I know what is meant by the figure of Jesus as the suffering and ass all the contempt of the world. It is not Christianity. It is deeper than humanity. A chimp knows what a pariah, and how to die. No society can be, even without animals marginalized, and since we are a species that tells stories, we could not humanity without a scapegoat.

But how could it be true, not that God could have a face? This is not necessarily true that everything has a face, it is something that we ourselves invented, and God is not a really interesting way?

this question carefully and honestly, the Gifford Lectures last year, now collected in the face of God. What, he wondered, that allows us to see a face at all? Why can not we understand the Mona Lisa Smile, smile when it can be reduced to pigments on a page? More generally, when we see a person on one side, he asks, we made a mistake? Is it just an illusion to hide the physical reality?

The answer that comes to mind is that the self is not a thing in the physical world. We are subjects, not objects, to ourselves, we understand that others seem to be submitted. There is no "other puzzle minds." We know that there are other beings in the same way that lead us to find and refine themselves.
