@CarlMcColman Theology, good or bad, is whatever people make of it - fools alike - and why many of the most hateful organizations among us are led by folk who are truly, deeply pious. Mistaking religion for the reality of love, a perennial, universalist, categorically egoic error. God is love.

The real infidel to us is love’s enemy;
What kind of faith condemns love as a heresy?

Jamal ad-Din Jamman

•••

The religion of love is distinct from all creeds;
God is the religion in which lovers believe."

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

•••

In love there is a prayer devoid of prostration;
Twist Jew, Christian and Muslim
love brooks no distinction.
