I believe in one god. The father, the almighty. Maker of heaven and earth. We may worship him him under different names, using different rituals, and in a way that makes us want to fight each other over who's right. I believe that this God created us all basically good, but with the capability for evil, for choice is that which makes us human. This God knows everything, controls everything, and is everywhere. He is willing to forgive us of all sin if we ask him, because he is the embodiment of love. His concept of sin does not include laws made by man - sex outside of marriage is not evil unless done casually, without long term commitment. God does not discriminate against those who are not Christian. Muslims, buddhists, Sikhs, Jews, taoists, Daoists, and all others - if you truly seek the divine, you are part of his kingdom.
God does not tolerate those who place money above him. He is not with corrupt politicians, businessmen, soldiers, and laymen. He is not with those who look down on others, be it based on race, orientation, religion, or otherwise. He is not with those who have the ability to do good but refuse to do so.
God is with those who love mankind and everyone in it. He champions the cause of the terminally ill, the desperately poor, the refugee, the orphan, the widow, and the migrant worker. He stands up for those without food, water, shelter, clothing, or money. He exists inside those who need hope.
God rewards those who give and expect nothing in return. He understands and remits the cause of the suicidal. He is the force that rights an abusive relationship. Ultimately, he is the voice inside you that guides you everyday.
Praise him. Ask of him. Thank him.
