“If anyone could prove to me that Christ is outside the truth, I should prefer to stay with Christ and not the truth.”

I saw this quote way before I read anything about Dostoevsky. I later learned that he wrote this in a letter, and it aroused various interpretations.

Just this morning, when I was watching a video about the Filipino classic film “Himala”, I was reminded of that particular Dostoevsky quote. "Himala" criticizes blind faith and Joel Lamangan, who played the priest in the movie, said:

“Noon ay lagi kong sinasabing importante lagi ang pagharar sa katotohanan. Ngayon alam ko na, hindi tayo dapat laging napasisilaw sa katotohanan sapagkat kung minsan ito ay hindi makatao.”

It was really an interesting coincidence.
