The Passion

I read The Passion in my literature class. Overall, it was hard to understand because even though at a glance the book is just amusing and seems like an easy read. The book had things about magical realism as it integrated unreal things and brought them to life as if they were real. This was similar to how religion made everyone think. Jesus walked on water, and although this is a hard concept to grasp, because people believe, they accept this as a fact and as a miracle of Christianity. Just as so, The Passion had parts of the novel that integrated such impossibilities into reality. It made me think that if one were to believe something so much, as impossible as that idea may be, it can be the truth. 1+1=3 right?
So then, everything that we perceive to be true could possibly be all lies.
