in the shadow sense and the word noah noah means comfort so no actually means mr comfort

I'm not willing to challenge God.
And God desperately desires to be protested because the voice in me that protests God is God, right?
And that's, you know, the protesters in Iran, that's God protesting.
That's the voice of God.
So the voice of protest against injustice, right?
against the deadening of reality, is the voice of God.
