I believe in the Christian God, but I do not believe he is the only God. He is a jealous, sullen, solitary creature who hates the other gods and conspires against them. Sometimes, when I think about him, I see him as being like Alfred, except Alfred had some decency and kindness, but Alfred never stopped working or thinking or worrying. The Christian God also never stops working and planning. My gods like to loll in the feasting hall or take their goddesses to bed, they are drunk, dissolute and happy, and while they feast and fornicate, the Christian God is capturing the world.
