I don't think i agree with Ivan's illustration of this GI and his opinions about mankind. I don't think that Jesus so woefully misunderstood all of us. I don't believe that we are merrily rebels and slaves and I certainly don't feel that any other man has the right to make that judgement. However I do understand the need/necessity of suffering to recieve freedom( what hurts us, makes us stronger), so are ready for the responsiblity later. But i think that Ivan and the GI somehow think that they are better than the rest of mankind and above believing/ having faith in a God.
