“Maybe God isn’t the sex police, Richard. Sometimes I think Christians get all hung up on the sex thing because it’s easier to worry about sex than to ask yourself, Am I a good person? If as long as you don’t have sex with a lot of people you’re a good person, that’s easy. It’s easy to avoid that. It’s easy to think, I’m not fucking anyone, so I’m good. It makes it easy to be cruel, because as long as you’re not fucking around, nothing you do can be that bad. Is that really all you think of God? Is he just the sex police for you and Malcolm? Or is it that sex is easy to worry about, easy to avoid, and the whole love-your-neighbor-as-you-love-yourself thing that’s hard? Some days it’s so hard, I feel like trying to take care of everyone in my life will break me apart. But I do my best. I do my best for everyone in my life every damn day. Can you say that, Richard? Do you do your best for everyone in your life every damn day?”
