I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.

A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross.
H. Richard Niebuhr, The Kingdom of God in America (Harper & Brothers, New York, 1937)
He who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the
morning, and darkens the day into night, who calls for the waters of the
sea, and pours them out upon the surface of the earth, the LORD is his
name...
RSV Amos
5:8
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.
He was in the beginning with God;
all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made
that was made.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
RSV John
1:1-5
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth;
we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
RSV John
1:14
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world
knew him not.
He came to his own home, and his own people received him not.
But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to
become children of God;
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will
of man, but of God.
RSV John
1:10-13
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no
evil...
RSV Psalm
23:4
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
RSV John
3:16
I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches.
I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.
RSV Revelation
22:18
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and
the end.
RSV Revelation
22:13
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am
with you always, to the close of the age.
RSV Matthew
28:19-20
