The gods of the realms are many and varied -- or they are the many and varied names and identities tagged onto the same being. I know not -- and care not -- which. ↗

If God is the Creator, if God englobes every single thing in the universe, then God is everything, and everything is God. God is the earth and the sky, and the tree planted in the earth under the sky, and the bird in the tree, and the worm in the beak of the bird, and the dirt in the stomach of the worm. God is He and She, straight and gay, black and white and red - yes even that...and green and blue and all the rest. And so, to despise me for loving women or you for being a Red who made love with a woman, would be to despise not only His own creations but also to hate Himself. My God is not so stupid as that. ↗

I still lack a political, religious, and philosophical world view. I change it every month, so I'll have to limit myself to the description of how my heroes love, marry, give birth, die, and how they speak. ↗

Our best moral stories don’t tell us what is right or wrong in every situation, but they show us what one character did in one situation at one time. Readers, viewers, and listeners are supposed to extrapolate the moral meaning from the story. We’re not supposed to have it handed to us. ↗

Jika agama kalian merupakan rahmat bagi alam semesta, kalian bisa menggunakannya sebagai senjata untuk menyejahterakan orang lain. Jika orang lain selamat, selamatlah alam semesta. ↗

A theology that endangers life rather than "giving life" is one that cannot accept the title of being adequately Christian. ↗

So Jesus in the throes of his Passion is an image of hope: God is on the side of those who suffer. ↗
