We give lip service to acceptance, as though acceptance were enough. Then we go on to create super-people – super-parents, super-kings, and queens, super-cops – to be our gods and to look after us – to stand between us and God. Yet God has been here all along, shaping us and being shaped by us in no particular way or in too many ways at once like an amoeba – or like a cancer. Chaos.
