God is omniscient, omnipresent, looks like a human, is nothing like a human, wants you to kill his enemies, loves you, condemns you, hates Jews, Muslims, Christians, loves Jews, Muslims, Christians, talks through burning bushes, lives on a cloud, can't be understood, hates sex, loves every sperm, wants you to sing hymns, wants you to pray so that the world hears, wants you to pray in private, wants you to pray on your knees, with your palms together, facing south, north, east or west, likes virgins, hates women, loves men, hates men, loves women, doesn't want you to judge, allows you to be biased, created the world in seven days, works in mysterious ways, loves children, let parents beat the crap out of children, collects pairs of animals, loathes dinosaurs, tests your faith, loves only you, loves you as long as you love him, likes devastation, is the opposite of the devil, can be found anywhere and nowhere...
Do I really need to go on?
Do I really need to go on?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
