It's love. I like to say things like, "if you believe in love, you believe in god." Trite, eh? I really think that though. Cuz I'm a goddamn hippie. Whatever form you think it takes on, or however you worship it (or not), there's something sacred about being human and knowing what love is (or at least being confused about what love is or being able to think about what love is) so you can call it god and be in awe of it and I really think it's that simple. What's the word for that? It means "someone who thinks all religions are valid" or whatever. There's a word for it, but I can't remember. Pluralism?

There is no God; our love surrounds us"

I like to play in the margins of theistic belief. I like to think that all ways of believing or disbelieving in God bring me closer to God and myself.
