... a prism [is] a metaphor for God’s Light beaming on the whole of humanity which refracts and disperses God’s Truth and reality in all of God’s different colors and angles. Thus, depending on where we stand we discern God’s Light from different angles and see God in different shades of color. Therefore it takes all of humanity and the array of the great religious traditions to see the totality of God’s Light. God, indeed, is too big to understand until we combine God’s Truth through our colorful array of different religious traditions. We might say that it takes a whole village to see who God is.

I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn’t occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don’t like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don’t like it, nobody is telling you to finish it.
To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended.
