“Would you rather a god who listens or a god who speaks?”
Be careful with the answer.
It’s as important as every word from Scheherazade’s mouth that saved her life.
And everybody’s got an answer.
A god who listens is like your best friend, who lets you tell him about all the people you don’t like.
A god who speaks is like your best teacher, who tells Brandon Goff he has to leave the room if he’s going to call people falafel monkeys.
A god who listens is your mom who lets you sit in a kitchen and tell her stories about castles in the mountains.
A god who speaks is your dad who calls on the phone with advice for your life in America.
There are gods all over the world who just want you to express yourself. Look inside and find whatever you think you are and that’s all it takes to be good. And there are gods who are so alien to us, with minds so clear, the only thing to do would be to sit at their feet and wait for them to speak, to tell us what is good.
A god who listens is love.
A god who speaks is law.
At their worst, the people who want a god who listens are self-centered. They just want to live in the land of do-as-you-please. And the ones who want a god who speaks are cruel. They just want laws and justice to crush everything.
I don’t have an answer for you. This is the kind of thing you live your whole life thinking about probably.
Love is empty without justice.
Justice is cruel without love.
Oh, and in case it wasn't obvious, the answer is both.
God should be both.
If a god isn't, that is no God.”
