"Monotheism has a catch, you see. If the one God created the whole world, then that God belongs to the whole world. And the whole world belongs to God. No exceptions. If the one God made all creation, that has to include even the people I despise, the storms that destroy my crops and the cancer cells that take my friend's life. If God is taking care of my wealthy, lucky neighbor, that care must somehow also extend to my other credit-poor, alcoholic neighbor. [...] Whose side is God on? The (un)comfortable answer is: everyone's." -- @the_parishioner, 2014-07-14, "Taking Monotheism Seriously" (Alas I left that tab open so long before copying the passage I wanted to quote, that I've forgotten who linked me to that page in the first place (quoting part of the same passage).)
