¬God, who keeps perfect accounting, says, "The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love" (Galatians 5:6b, NIV). Dominique is a very self-absorbed teenager who manipulates adults for the joy of the battle. Having been churched, she knows just enough of the Bible to find it unbelievable. Growing up in New York City, she believes she is living in the epicenter of this world's pattern for meaningful life. Believing her parents are hypocrites and only use church as a way to gain access to the New York business world, she disdains religious encounters of any kind. What encounters await her, attempting to live as if God does not exist.
