Does god love all
God loves all because of our potential for good and every day we disappoint Him with our evil actions. There are some crimes I wish weren’t possible to forgive but God’s word rules above my own and if He tells me to forgive then I will. We must forgive, but without leaving room for the same mistakes to hurt us again. Make room and clear out the ones who are irredeemable to you but don’t allow them the space in your head that comes with holding onto a grudge. You deserve better than to spend your days upset over their actions, especially if you did not deserve to be hurt like that. Allow yourself freedom

You might get asked that question a lot but do have any book recommendations?
The first book I ever recommend when asked is The Book Of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa. Not only does the content of the book capture me, but Pessoa’s life too, and how it affected his writing. Other works I’m extremely fond of are To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, Satan’s Diary by Leonid Andreyev, (+The Seven Who Were Hanged, though I can’t attest to the quality of translation in either) Dante’s Inferno, and The Illiad. Very fun! These few are some that I haven’t seen recommended often, even if most are well known, so I hope it can help some. :)

for curiosity's sake: what does your day to day look like religion wise?
I don’t necessarily have a routine, but I pray after I wake up and before I eat any meals. Some days I fast to feel more clear of mind, and in those cases I try to dedicate some of the time spent fasting to reflection and prayer. In my free time I research a lot about Christianity (and religions in general) but that’s less out of obligation and more general interest. In my real life I attempt to keep at least some semblance of tranquility, as I find that the calm leaves more space to explore God and what He’s trying to show me. A lot of my inner work happens when I start writing things down. Once I start it’s like a floodgate opens and it’s easier to verbalize everything, so I often write about God and religion in my personal writings as well as those I share with others. Collaboration is a huge thing for me and I go to a theology class on occasion just for the discussion aspect but admittedly I have been slacking off on that recently (summer heat is a killer for my motivation)

no need to answer this if it’s too personal but how/when did you become religious? or have you always been religious?
I was raised and baptized as Orthodox, so it’s always been a part of my life. I’ve met people who are shocked at how many religious practices I have, just from day-to-day, but it truly has been something I’ve done my whole life and that doesn’t even phase me really. I think that in modern times it’s normalized to not feel a sense of devotion to God, even if you are Christian, or to be quite Relaxed in the way that you worship Him, which I object to. Of course, everybody’s faith is their own, but I can’t imagine how difficult it is for any grown adult to fast for the entirety of lent or to pray before every meal. If they abstain from such behaviors, and similar ones, I will quietly believe to myself that their faith must not be worth much in the first place.
