Tutu: God is not a Christian

BeliefNet had an email interview with Beliefnet, Bishop Desmond Tutu, author of the new book God Has A Dream. In the interview, BeliefNet asks
Is your book relevant to non-Christians or people with no religious faith?
And Tutu answers
I believe so very much. Because love is universal. I mean, you don't have to believe in God to know that loving is better than hating. We are trying to remind them that all of us are fundamentally good. The aberration is the bad person. God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God's children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God. No faith contains the whole truth about God. And certainly Christians don't have a corner on God. All of us belong to God. Even the nonbeliever is precious to God. And one simply tries to remind them that they are made for transcendence. They are made for goodness.
