Jon Fosse

“when I was growing up believed it, believed in the literal meaning of what they said, in God a father who lived up in the sky somewhere, who was all-powerful and who used that power to even exterminate millions of Jews, I think, but those who think of God like that are truly sinning, misusing God’s name, or maybe they’re not, they don’t know any better, and I shouldn’t judge them, because judge not lest ye be judged, as is written, but I can’t help it, I think it’s blasphemous to think like that, and the people who believe in the God they told us about when I was growing up in Barmen believe in a false idol, they’re misusing God’s name, pure and simple, and may God forgive them, and he does, for God’s grace is so all-encompassing”
