Dreadful religious war.
Slave trade and colonialism.
Repression of women and children.
Child abuse.
Child spanking.
Oppression.
Support of oppressors, dictators and greedy capitalists.

God

Who or what is God, do you think? Is he like a father or is she like a mother? And what kind of father is he like, if he’s like a father? Is he like a drunkard or is he like a psychopathic CEO?

What kind of person is he? Is he like a mad and hard-to-please dictator? Is he made out of imagination? Is he made out of flesh and blood or is he made out of spirit?

What is spirit? What does spirit consist of? What do you think? Is spirit made out of the same substance as imagination or fantasy?

When you look at all the suffering in the world, do you think of it as created by a good God for some kind of weird reason?

And what kind of mother is she like, if she's like a mother, is she like the goddess Kali or is she more like Margaret Thatcher? What do you think?

And if you don’t believe in God, what kind of God is it that you don’t believe in, a God made out of spirit or a God made out of flesh and blood?

There are so many different ideas about who or what God is. What do you think? Remember that only your thoughts are real.
