The Difference Between a Believer and a Pagan

I've been cleaning my files lately and ran across this unidentified clipping:
What is the difference between a believer and a pagan? Portia Nelson has written an insightful piece, An Autobiography in Five Short Chapters: "Chapter 1: I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in he sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost...I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. Chapter 2: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place, but it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. Chapter 3: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it  is there. I still fall in...It's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. Chapter 4: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. Chapter 5 I walk down another street."
The difference between a pagan and a Christian is that the pagan starts to like the holes.
Insightfully yours,
