The perfect god of the mind cannot lie. But as a character I'm convinced that he indeed is capable of that trait. Otherwise he would be a boring character with no dept and three-dimensionality. As a a character (to his believers) such a trait would be unforgivable, but to us, reading the fairy-tale as the story it is, it just makes it more morbid and fascinating, though horrifying.
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
