The moral of this story is that belief/faith in god is so impotent in reality that militancy is really unwarranted. And those that insist on their continuing intolerance towards this belief may be working on some other issues. |
i'm no expert in the religious mind but i can't picture a believer being angry at god. if anger there was, i think it was aimed at religion(s).
here in europe, religions are the biggest proponents of homophobia and if you've witnessed the damage it can do it will surely have a negative impact on your opinion of religion(s). anger is obviously a bridge too far but, in your story, anger at religion makes a lot more sense to me than anger at god.
