“It’s called theodicy. When people try to explain how God can still be good when bad things happen.”
― Sierra Simone, Sinner

“Biblical metaphors for God include a laboring woman, a breastfeeding mother, even a mother hen. And man and woman were both created in God’s image, were they not? Why use Him and not Her? In fact, why even say God instead of Goddess? Both Him and Her are not enough to contain the fullness of God, who is outside the construct of gender, who is so much more than the human mind can conceive.”
― Sierra Simone, Sinner

“Some people think it’s a bad idea, trying to justify God’s goodness, because it distracts us from what’s important. It tangles us up in intellectual knots, when intellection isn’t the point. We have philosophy for that. Religion is for ritual, for practice. For moral action.”
― Sierra Simone, Sinner

“Sean, faith and belief are the practices of committing a life in the face of no answers. God is and always will be outside of human comprehension.”
― Sierra Simone, Sinner
