Would We Love God?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

I have yet to see a down side of peace.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Because you declared peace against us, I have stopped thinking of natural disasters as “acts of God.” Such language is provocative and inflammatory. I think of the miraculous stories we hear from survivors. You do your best, but you can’t entirely disrupt forces of nature or of human stupidity and arrogance. The terms of the peace accord seem clear to me: You love and we love.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!“

[Not what He said upon leaving the tomb.]

D. Blog: Haiku Trilogy on Loving God

If You were female,
Would we love You less?
Only if we were sexist.


If You were male,
Would we express our love?
Only if we were female.


If you were not gendered
Would we love You less,
Since you are not like us?
