When we're young we may sometimes wish for time to pass quickly, so school will be over and we can enjoy our time off. When we're old, we may wish time passed more slowly as we have fewer remaining years with which to enjoy our lives. The problem isn't our age, however, but the processing of familiar information. If we perceive time more slowly when we're processing the unfamiliar, than the frequent introduction of the unfamiliar could help our perception of time from rapidly shrinking.
You want to save Christianity from the Christians?
"Yes, I quote my father who insisted that Jesus Christ was a socialist and that any Christianity that is not on the side of the dispossessed against the arrogance of the powerful and rich is utterly untraditional. Dawkins and Hitchens write about Christianity and never link the words God, justice and love. That is either a sign of their obtuseness or a sign of the massive self-betrayal of the Christian movement. It has got to the point where intelligent people like them don't understand that Christianity is not about how many months you get in purgatory for adultery. It's about a love and a thirst for justice that will bring you to your death. There's nothing lovely about it."
