Ecclesiastes 9:5

[Bucky Ball]

....as an addendum to the above, of course a nominal christain like Bel would identify with Blakes heretical "christianity".  It's appealing precisely because of how nominally christian it is.  Nominal christians like their christianity the same way that overt atheists do.  Decidedly un-christian.  His mind is a hostage and acts like any other hostage might.  Sympathizing with their taker.

Blake : "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: “All deities reside in the human breast.” And the notebook verses known as The Everlasting Gospel include this statement

Thou art a man God is no more
Thy own humanity learn to adore. 

But as Blake labored long and hard on The Four Zoas, and afterward on the prophecies Milton and Jerusalem, the figure of Jesus took on an increasingly crucial role. Concerned as he was with the breakdown of the self, he needed help from an agency beyond the self; without intervention by “the Saviour even Jesus,” the fall into formlessness would have no end. If Jesus were simply what is best in humanity, what would be the point in calling him “the Saviour” at all?
The function of religion, in Blake’s view, is to ask ultimate questions about existence, and the questions are more important than the answers. He did declare once, “The Old and New Testaments are the great code of art,” but that doesn’t mean that the Bible has a monopoly on truth. Rather, the Bible is the particular set of symbols that are embedded in the Western imagination, inspiring Blake as it inspired Michelangelo and Raphael before him. But he always read the Bible, as Erdman puts it, counterclockwise, in explicit contrast to orthodox interpretation. As Blake says in The Everlasting Gospel,

Both read the Bible day and night
But thou read’st black where I read white.

Blake explicitly rejected a great deal in the New Testament, including the doctrine of the virgin birth and the Pauline emphasis on sin. He liked the Old Testament even less, etc"
