Jorge Luis Borges, Theologian

I am searching for a link to Jorge Luis Borges short story "The Heretic" to suggest it as a paradigm for understanding along with the scene from Zentropa.  Borges addressed such issues in several stories

“Heresy is another word for freedom of thought. ... Jorge Luis Borges

The above is a useful collection of essays on Borges... I think HIS style of reasoning about reality has some value in these dialogues about right/wrong, good/evil, who is a REAL Christian, etc. as opposed to the Manichean good guys/bad guys view of people like G.W. Bush
