Quotes by Rain Carrington (?)

“What I'm saying is that preachers are like politicians. They choose what sin or crime they want to fight and they get their people riled up to do the same, making hate and fear. That hate and fear mask other things they should be concentrating on and it keeps people separate.”
― Rain Carrington, Second Chances 1

― Rain Carrington, Second Chances 1

“Maybe, if there is a hell, the absolute heaven of the love I feel for another man is worth it.”
