many Gods

"Aunt Elizabeth overheard me telling Perry one Sunday afternoon what I thought God was like, and she said it was scandalous. The trouble is, Aunt Elizabeth and I have different Gods, that is all. Everybody has a different God, I think. Aunt Ruth's, for instance, is one that punishes her enemies - sends 'judgments' on them. That seems to me to be about all the use He really is to her. Jim Cosgrain uses his to swear by. But Aunt Janey Millburn walks in the light of her God's countenance, every day, and shines with it." - L.M. Montgomery, "Emily Climbs"


Ohhhh yes yes yes. Thank you, Lucy Maud, for beating me to writing this before I was even born. Sometimes, when somebody puts my thought this well before I ever think it, I am very thankful for the truth of Ecclesiastes.
