I find it interesting how Holden really doesn't like Christ's diciples but he does like Jesus but he considers himself atheist. Holden says, "They were all right after Jesus was dead and all, but while He was alive, they were about as much use to Him as a hole in his head. All they did was keep letting Him down." I haven't studied the New Testiment all to much but it's not like they let him down on purpose. They were still learning and that's how come they did alright after Jesus died. But as you remember he rose on the third day and then there is no account that he died again after that. He ascended into the heavens, visited the Lamanites and Nephites in the Americans, spent time with them and taught them the gospel, and then asended back into the heavens to dwell with the Father. This quote also does show that Holden values friendship. True friendship. I think Holden's only other true friend besides his brothers and sister would be Jane Gallagher. Holden thinks in very strange was but it makes sense for him.
