Oh to have you with me, to have you here, not to be alone, but to be with you, my beauty, you of all souls! You.

I want to love all the children of God - Christian, Jew, Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist - everyone. I want to love gay Christians and straight Christians.

People write to me all the time to tell me that "homosexuality is an abomination." They base this on a quote in Leviticus. I think the Bible has proved to be a very mysterious and dangerous document.

It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him. And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there. And somehow, there was a disturbing comfort in that, and, despite myself, I’d envision his face.

I left Christianity because I wanted to be a moral person. That is why I left. I no longer believed in its lies.

What if I could give you your life back; pluck out the pain; and give you a world of unimaginable beauty that would be for all time.

I am certain a great many believers and bible readers do believe in social justice.
