Nuclear Dawn #1-5: The Post-Apocalyptic Box Set

by Kyla Stone

Religion isn’t the same as God. Religion isn’t faith. It took me a long time to understand that. Religion can be a lot of rules and traditions to follow. It’s not always bad, but it’s not always good, either.”

God doesn’t cause evil. But God can work through something terrible to make something good come out of it. That’s what I believe. That we were put here to ease each other’s burdens, to help each other.”

“Throughout time, there have been religions who’ve claimed to speak for God who instead heaped great harm and suffering upon others. But God isn’t in those people, whether they call him God or Allah or Jehovah. God is a God of love.”

“Maybe the idea of redemption is just something religious people believe in, but I don’t think so. The world needs people willing to fight for something that’s good, now more than ever.” Her jaw flexed. “Everything we do matters. It has too. Otherwise, nothing matters.”

“If you hear nothing else, hear this: God’s love never changes. God is love. Love is the gift that God gave to humanity. Real love cannot be twisted into evil. Shame, fear, and power are the devil’s tools. Love never destroys. It only builds. Love never controls. It does not coerce. Love believes in choice above all else. For without free will, there is no love. That is its very nature. That is how you know.”
