I am reminded of a conversation I had with a new friend once. He asked outright if I believed in God. “I believe in a higher power,” I told him, “but I don’t call it God, I call it Universe.” His response was to declare that “my God is bigger than your God.” The statement was so utterly ridiculous – that one person’s concept of god could be “bigger” than any other person’s – I was speechless. But, as this incident at Charlie Hebdo shows, we don’t really have the luxury of being speechless, do we?
