I think I've learned a lot, but the one thing that sticks out the most is that I have actually calmed down a bit. I have never been angry at any god, but at those willing to deceive me I have indeed been. Being here makes me realize that unless someone actually poses a real threat to you, there's no need to get overly worked up about other people's faith.
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
