Creed

My spiritual beliefs are complex and difficult to summarize. Following is one oversimplified summary of an important aspect:

I believe that the true God — or Gods — are unlikely to fit well into any theological dogma.

Those Christians (and Muslims, etc.) who promote belief in a Devil tend to be of the more dogmatic and repressive branches of their religions. And they tend to regard all challenges to their orthodoxies as being of the Devil.

Therefore, the true God — or Gods — are more likely to be perceived as the Devil than as God.

But the true God – or gods – can appear under any guise.

The true God — or Gods — are the Dark One, eternally hidden, mysterious, and always challenging us, though They are also Bearers of Light.
