The only thing (presence) I believe in is my God. Everyone constructs the version of God they want to believe in or not. I am no different. Here is the version I believe in. Instead of creating a version to suit my ego or to justify my disgraceful behaviour, I have constructed a version to suit my ideal – one which I will try to emulate. To me, it's better to try to emulate a peaceful God than to use God to desecrate other people.

My God is not a warring God
My God does not take sides
My God is not vengeful
My God is not religious
My God is not competitive
My God has no preferences
My God is both genders and neither
My God is not a tyrant or a victim
My God is never emotional
My God does not judge
My God loves all life
My God is all life.

To me, it is not about Heaven or Hell; it is about unfinished business in everybody's Soul. Foolish are the people who think they can desecrate other people in any way, shape or form and get away with it. Their comeuppance is as certain as night and day follow each other.

All you can do in this life is try and be as loving as you can be, because if you don't, you're destined to come back here, time and time again, until you do what you should have been doing all along ~ Gary Bate.
